Charlotte Marks '19 Recruiting Profile

        Throughout my seven years of playing field hockey, not only have I learned extensive stick skills, field positioning, and sportsmanship, but have developed a true passion for the sport.  Over the years, this has contributed to my advanced sense of field awareness and position.  If I were to describe myself in one word it would be dedicated.  One of the mottos that I live by is “finish what you start”; whether it’s sprinting hard through the end of a fitness test, staying after practice to perfect a new skill, or playing my hardest until the final buzzer.  As a defensive minded player, I bring a good sense of leadership to the field as I am a vocal player and strong communicator.  I use these skills to encourage my teammates and to make others aware of open teammates or an unmarked opponent.  Additionally, I am a very coachable player.  I take every piece of advice my coaches give me to heart, and make adjustments accordingly in my play.

        As a student-athlete, I enjoy being surrounded by people who challenge me athletically and academically.  I have high aspirations for myself on and off the field.  In college I am looking for a dynamic and challenging environment with a balance between academics and athletics.  Being a multi-sport athlete has added to my physical strength and field maturity.  This has also taught me time management that will allow me to balance both rigorous athletics and academics. I am dedicated to both my passion for field hockey, my academics, and to being the best student-athlete possible.
