Janelle Benzick '15 Recruiting Profile
Video
June 2014
August 2014Personal Statement
I plan to leave college being a well-rounded young woman with opportunities for success in every aspect of my life. I believe I would be the best candidate for your team because I work very hard both academically and physically and I am willing to push even further to become not only the best college athlete, but also a highly qualified student. I try to balance myself through involvement in 2 sports, various clubs, and school to keep every option open for me. I can be very direct and focused at times when leading myself and others toward a goal, however, I can also be a goofball when the time is right. I am a very coachable person because being successful is very important to me. I hope to make a huge impact on your team for the four years that I' am able to work with you and I can not wait to start my journey as a college softball player!!!
