Chase Parkhurst '18 Recruiting Profile

I have always loved swimming my whole life.  Every aspect of the sport is almost addicting and I love the process.  But I also love improving myself both physically and mentally in the sport.  After a meet or practice I like to watch film or think of what could've been done differently.  No matter how fast I get there is always something that can be done better.  I also love to win.  I'm very competitive with myself and other swimmers and can push my limits.  Pushing myself is one of my best qualities and is what I think will put me at the elite level.  I have the poise and desire to win and the confidence and self drive to make myself the best I can be.  I am very coach-able.  I have always respected my coaches and have always improved based on what they suggested.  I am a team player and someone who is able to live up to expectations.  I want to be expected to do great things because that's the drive that motivates me.
