Ashlyn Hughes '20 Recruiting Profile

What makes me a great candidate for your team?  I am:

• A leader and a high achiever -- both on and off of the field. (Think team leader, high scorer stats in DC/MD/VA and Honor Roll Student)
• Well rounded and disciplined in schoolwork, sports, community service, social life and even my hobbies. (Think discipline of a Taekwondo Black Belt, Varsity Player, Feeding the Homeless in DC, campfires with friends and Photography)
• An agile player with a high hockey IQ who can play any field position. (Put me in Forward, Midfield or Defense)
• A great listener who's quick to respond. (I know what you're gonna say from the sideline and I'm ready for it.)
• A dedicated daughter, sister, team mate and friend. (My family, my team, my friends are #1)

My passion is field hockey and it always has been.  I haven't focused as much on any other sport because I'm always striving to get to the next level, do something better, learn another skill, win another game.  It's always exciting to me and I feel like I'm just getting started.  I aspire to play field hockey in college because I love the game so much and I can't see myself not playing after all that I have worked for, and all that my family have done for me to excel in it so far.

I recognize that I'm a student first and that academics will be most important in providing me opportunities in the future for a career so, it's super important to me that I go to a school that can prepare me academically for my future.  I also recognize that being part of a team and succeeding together is one of the most important life skills to know.  That said, I'm going to do everything it takes to be a great student-athlete now and through college.

I hope that you will reach out to learn more about me and why I would be a great addition to your team in 2020.

Thank you,

Ashlyn #14
