Brielle Baughman '24 Recruiting Profile

I grew up with a passion for basketball and that has not changed.  I continue to have a goal of playing basketball at the college level. Over the years, basketball has taught me many important things.  Basketball has helped me develop leadership qualities that I have been able to apply on and off the court.  Basketball has taught me the value of work ethic and grit.  Not making the AAU team during initial tryouts gave me the opportunity to experience productive failure.  I cried at first, and then quickly decided I was going to work extra hard practicing.  Through perseverance and effortful deliberate practice, I not only earned a position on the AAU team but quickly rose to a starter in all games. 

My athletic teammates respect me as an individual and collaborative player.  Coaches appreciate my awareness of the court and skill level that enables me to play various positions. Additionally, my strength as a shooter has stood out to coaches and fans. My teachers at both the elementary and middle school level, have recognized my consistently outstanding academic performance and even more importantly, my strength in overall character. Several teachers have told my parents, “Brielle’s the kid you want your own kid to be best friends with.”

It is my goal to play basketball at the college level.  Recognizing that a goal without a plan is just a wish, I am committed to continuing to put forth time and effort to excel academically and athletically. I am excited for the opportunity to positively contribute to your basketball program!
