Rachael Schoonover '16 Recruiting Profile

    I find college as an opportunity to better myself. Every opportunity that I am given I take full grip of and work my hardest to get the most out of it. I am a good candidate for any team because of my hard work and awareness. Every sprint, every play during practice, and every shot I take, I view as a chance - a chance to get one step ahead of my opponents. I realize that some people are not as lucky as I am in being able to physically complete, so I never slack and take full advantage of my perfect physical health. I am smart on the field and make decisions as smart and quick as possible. Whenever the ball is lost, I do everything I am capable of to win the ball back for my team, or get in the most helpful recovered position. I believe that if you hold back in any training or game, then you are lowering your chances of being a great player. 

    Academically, I work like I train - I am given an opportunity, and I will take the opportunity. I continue to study until I fully comprehend the information, and then strive to use that information to better my community around me. I can handle the load of college courses and academic studies like no other recruit. I currently am enrolled in mainly AP or accelerated courses and compete in 3 varsity sports, and nevertheless, I have maintained an unweighted 4.0 as 1 out of 425 students in my school, or a weighted 4.1 as 9 out of 425 students.
