Ally Rawls '23 Recruiting Profile

As a student athlete, as well as a an overall person all together my life goal has always been to over exceed. Growing up I have tried a variety of sports  and was lucky enough to find many I was passionate about. My parents have always been very supportive of my goals and ambitions due to me always having the ability to overcome expectation. I always put my  academics first before anything, being able to become a successful member in healthcare has been a dream I have had since I was a kid. Athletics are a whole different  ball game, growing up I always have been stressed with my grades and have found sports to be my outlet. This started my passion for track, as an athlete I found it hard to work in teams due to always having a more focused way of playing that I benefit from. When I first started track, I felt for the first time it was fully correct. If I got upset or was overly stressed about life I could just go run my heart out. In all honesty I wonder a lot of times what I would do without it, I am a very independent person in life however I love to go and support my fellow teammates. When I see success in areas I find I am failing on, I love to ask for help and use there techniques so I can understand what area I am failing in. My coach always tells me I am an over thinker because I always ask him what I am doing wrong, however I just like to be criticized for my actions so when I fix them I know that I was able to succeed in a grey spot. I love the sport and will always love the adrenaline it gives me. Thank you for reading this, have a good rest of your day!
