Paige Collins '20 Recruiting Profile

    I've been playing team sports since I was 5 years old, beginning with soccer and basketball. I added running (track in middle school and high school as well as cross-country in high school).  My distance running and track events (800 meter and 4 x 4 relay) have greatly enhanced my conditioning and preparation for basketball each season.  I bring a consistent and aggressive work ethic to basketball.  I'm really intentional about maintaining a positive attitude and encourage my teammates as their captain and peer.  I like to collaborate with players of varying personalities and skill sets, while challenging myself to develop my own skills each season (and during the off-season). 

     In the classroom, I hold myself to high standards and currently maintain a 3.8 GPA.  Communicating with my teachers and coaches is a priority to me.  If I have to miss class due to an athletic competition, I'm pro-active about requesting homework and deadlines ahead of time.  Positive relationships with my family, friends and teammates are very important as well.  I genuinely care about them and want to leave them better than I found them.  I really try to live by a statement that I wrote down for a class assignment "Live life to the fullest, even when things get the toughest".
