Shelby Myers '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Shelby Myers, and I am both honored and excited to start this next chapter in my life of finding the right school that will give me an opportunity to play the sport that I love and also to learn the skills I need so that I may use them in future endeavors. My dream is to become a Surgeon specializing in the Pediatric field and I am determined to work hard and doing all that I can to achieve my dreams.

Throughout my life I have been privileged to have had extraordinary opportunities to follow my passion on the court, excel in the classroom, and thrive within my community and family. In the fourth grade I was drafted from the Park District to play on my first traveling team and since then I have had a phenomenal coaching staff that have cared enough to teach me that persistency, hard work and a positive attitude will help me to set goals for myself, create a plan, and achieve those goals. Academically I have and continue to have incredible teachers who have taught me the only way to get somewhere in life is to stay organized, be prepared every day, and to be patient.

Because of those people and many more, I have maintained a 3.944 GPA while receiving High Honor Roll Mention and the induction into the Academic Hall of Fame both my Freshman and Sophomore years.

I am a 4 year AAU Basketball player, Freshman and Sophomore Varsity Basketball Starter, 3-time State Track and Field participant for Shotput and Discus, also a participant in Volleyball, and I have obtained various individual accolades in the form of All-Tourney and All-Pool Player.

These opportunities and experiences have transformed me into a confident and outgoing athletic student who is eager to put my strengths and positive attitude to work in fulfilling my dreams and obligations to myself, my family, my coaches, and my community.
