Taylor Porter '16 Recruiting Profile

I am currently not one hundred percent sure my exact direction after high school regarding my major. I am interested in psychology, focusing more on children and child development studies. I also have a keen interest in physiology, in a child care direction or sports medicine. I aspire to be the best I can be, push myself and be successful. I have a good, hard work ethic in school. I am well organized and on task at school and that carries over to my athletics as well. I am a team player and hard worker. I find the time to balance my athletics and academics and do so appropriately. I work hard to keep my GPA as high as I can while being engaged in sports, and I have a strong passion for my grades as I always strive to receive All League Academic when available in my high school athletics. I have a endless love for the game of basketball and my coaches have told me that it shows in the game with my sportsmanship with my team as well as the opponents. I have the eye and the cognitive process to understanding the game and seeing little things that others may not, such as ways to get the ball or find a route to cut open, help another player get the ball and the open, clear option to shoot or drive. I am always respectful on and off the court towards my coaches, teammates, referees, opponents, teachers and administration, and anyone else I encounter, which is a strong characteristic to have, specially in the game, as it shows a true player.
