Mara Dirlau '24 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to constantly improve and do the best I can, be the best I can be. I push myself out of my comfort zone all the time, the fact that I'm willing to move to a different country demonstrates this accurately. I bring a positive, but serious attitude to the court which helps me focus on the goal, winning, while also still having fun at the same time. People say it's almost creepy how I never stop smiling. I never give up, I push my limits, and I always lift up my teammates. I can guarantee I am no one like you've ever met, I will take feedback and criticism, I will train like no other athlete, I will do anything I can to be the best athlete for not only myself but for the team as well. I've proven this in academics already, winning numerous awards for my understanding in many subjects, and also in athletics winning MVP and voted captain each year. I'm used to having strong competition and I don't crack easily under pressure, in fact my best friend is my biggest competition in terms of academics. We always try to do better than each other, but also work together to make great things.
