Sophia Smith ‘21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I really aspire to throw in college. It’s one of my dreams. I want to take my throwing to that next level. I try to lead by example. I am very encouraging and always try to make someone’s day better. I think what makes me different than other recruits is my character. Playing 3 sports, volleyball, basketball, and throwing track has played a big role in my character. My determination and persistence to get over an obstacle is what will help take me to that next level and it also makes me very coachable. The last half of my freshman season and all of my sophomore season I had to throw without season a coach. We only had a long distance running coach. I had to watch YouTube videos to try and learn my full spin. I went through a rut in the beginning of the season but I started lifting weights and watching YouTube videos around the clock and got back to my normal throwing range. I love working hard and seeing the results. I think that I would be a great fit for your program!

I also had the amazing accomplishment of playing on the team that won the Indiana Class A Volleyball State Championship.
