Aleksandra Apkarian '16 Recruiting Profile

I am relentless to achieve success in everything I try. My goal after high school is to attend a strong academic college where I can earn an excellent, well rounded business education while playing college softball.  I intend to succeed in the college setting both academically and athletically since I am versatile, hard-working, faith and values driven, and have a good work ethic. As a student, I believe that academics and maintaining strong character are extremely important and must take precedence in one’s educational journey; I continuously challenge myself to improve my academic ability.  My softball goal is to play for coaches that support scholar athletes with a team that aspires to compete at a high level and who I can form long-lasting friendships and special memories with. In the past, I have enjoyed excellent academic experiences and have played with teams that have formed very close bonds. I am just as happy to play with a team that has multiple championships or a team that is in the development phase as long as the objective of my team is to play hard to win. I am a coachable player and strive to aid my team in whatever tasks need to be performed so that we can enjoy success together. Therefore I always try to improve as an athlete and team leader. I believe in leading in positive ways and that finding means to use everyone's skills and talents is the best way to promote unity and produce a winning record. I aim to ensure my fiercely competitive spirit by acting upon my coaches' advice, taking every opportunity to get better, and by encouraging and supporting my teammates to do the same.
