Mashaylee Giles '16 Recruiting Profile

I am always one to try hard and push myself to my full potential. As a freshman I had the opportunity to be a starter on our high school varsity team and continue to start and play the full game. I try to improve others while I am improving myself on and off the court. I will always have a helping hand for anyone that needs it, for any reason. The thing I try to do most is be a roll model to all of my peers on and off the court by working hard and having a good attitude about everything. My coach always says that, to improve yourself you have to bring others with you in your success and better them also, and by experience I now believe that too.  Ever since I could walk I have had a ball in my hand playing with it nonstop. At the age of five I started playing basketball on the court. As soon as my mom realized the talent I had she put me up a year every year I played basketball to get more experience and better my skills. When I was in the eighth grade I got the opportunity to play with Lehi High Schools varsity team while they played on an AAU team during the summer.

I am always at school and never skip any of my classes, doing that I have maintained on high honor roll all my years of school and still expect myself to stay on high honor roll throughout the rest of my years in high school and during college. I am an easy learner and catch on to things fast once I am told to fix or change them. All of my basketball coaches have said I am an incredible coachable and an easy learning player. Basketball is my passion that I absolutely love but along with that I am also involved in volleyball, softball, and track keeping me busy all year long. During summer I attend basketball camps and play basketball games.

The biggest thing I want to do is find a college that is fit for my academic knowledge and my basketball skills level leaving me open to anything.
