Aveeva Mirchandani '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a determined golfer and student. I’ve always been determined to excel in everything I do, by putting my best effort forward. I optimize and change the way I work so I can work with my weaknesses, rather than against them. I  play on the Cactus Shadows High School Varsity Girls Golf Team. I have been training in golf since the age of 8. At first, I was playing for fun, and not very seriously. Golf eventually turned into a serious passion of mine. It’s become an essential part of me. The skills I gained from playing this game are a sense of focus, patience and concentration, which is one of the main reasons I love golf. Another thing I learnt was temperament control on the golf course, which applies throughout my life. When I am feeling stressed, upset, or overwhelmed, the first place I go to is the golf course. The more I understood the game, the more I understood how to read an environment and adapt to different conditions on a day-to-day basis.  Recently, my coach and I have worked tirelessly to improve my mental and physical game. The mental aspect of tournament golf has been a struggle recently, but I am actively working to improve my mindset and outlook on the game. It hasn’t been easy, putting many long and hard hours into making myself a better golfer. My handicap has dropped to 5.7
