Ford Maberry '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been competing athletically in multiple sports for as long as I can remember.  Years ago I started with baseball, basketball, flag football and a running program in Kindergarten.  It has been a vital part of who I am as a person and as a competitor.  Through these years of competition I have been honored to have some incredible coaching (little league, tournament ball and summer track programs).  Thankfully, each team and each coach always commented on the fact that I am coachable...competitive and coachable.  I have learned to listen and learn from each person who influenced me to keep working hard and continue to set personal goals and achieve them.  Over the years, I also know that my teammates would say that I am a positive team player and leader too.  I have been team captain in multiple sports and always worked to keep others around me pumped up, positive and ready to win.  Lastly, I work equally as hard in the classroom.  I not only make good grades, but I am also a creative, problem solver.  As a GT student, I have had the opportunity to be pushed to think beyond "the box".  I use this approach in classes, on the field, at the track and in life.  I like to think that if there is an obstacle, I face it straight on and make sure it doesn't hold me back.
