Taylor Schlenker '16 Recruiting Profile

 I am looking for a college setting with smaller class sizes, however I could also adapt to a larger scale setting if need be. I am a very coachable athlete, and will work to my fullest capabilities in order to exceed others expectations and meet my own goals. I am my own hardest critic, and will continue to strive for perfection. To me there are no limits, however if there were I would be the student athlete to surpass them. When I set a goal I take the time to plan the necessary steps needed to achieve them, my critical thinking and ability to reason assist me not only in the classroom, but also on the court. I bring an intensity to my surroundings that not only drives me to be my best, but also inspires others to do the same. As basketball is not only a physical game, but also a mental game I focus my energy training both aspects of the sport. When I am instructed or given constructive criticism I am able to grasp concepts quickly. I consistently work towards the betterment of my abilities and those of others; the team’s needs are put ahead of my own, as I wish to succeed as a team and not only as an individual. I motivate my teammates to be their best by putting in the effort I expect from others.
