Brenna Ducatte '25 Recruiting Profile

If you ask any adult (teachers, coaches, or parents) to describe me with one word, my guess is that the word they would use is “determined”. I have been told many times that I have more grit than most kids my age. I work very hard at everything I do. In school, I am taking advanced courses. I attend early morning and after school review sessions. I make special appointments with my teachers on my free time when I need extra help. I study nightly and turn all my assignments in on time. My hard work in the classroom has paid off because I have always had a 90 or above average.

My dedication is also applied to sports. I believe training and skill development should not stop at practice. I feel like this sets me apart from other high school athletes. I train on my own time. After 2-3 hours of practice at school, I make time to do additional training. This training includes running, sprint and hill workouts, weight training, agility training, and shooting and dribbling drills. Not only do I train hard, but I also try to keep my body fit. Unlike most of my teenage friends, I try to eat a balanced diet and get a reasonable amount of sleep. No matter if I am on the field, court, or track, I give every ounce of my energy to what I am doing.

After high school I plan on attending college to study dermatology. The human skin has always been fascinating to me and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I would also like to play basketball at the college level. I know that doing both concurrently will not be easy. I believe my grit and determination will serve me well in the future with my goals.
