Salome De Jesus '23 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations as an athlete and academic student are to be the best I can be, to grow academically, athletically but most important as a person, and to become a Professional individual which will help me in my adult life. My goal is for college to be my second family, experience, new adventures, be able to know my teammates and School mates, and build a relationship. As far as playing is concerned, trust in each other on the court and outside the court, Is also to be competitive but to respect each other to compete at the highest level and put effort on the court to win and have fun at the same time. I expect to be able to contribute, to help each other when one of the players needs it, and also to help them improve in every way mentally and physically, to be a strength to the other teammates for them to get up and keep fighting, to be positive and have a good attitude all the time inside the court and outside the court,  to communicate and understand each other, to improve on skills and technique, to go to practice every day and put the maximum effort in, to show how good you are without putting down other people, to encourage your teammates to get better and have the will to win every time we put our feet on the court, to be able to accomplish everything with them as a team, athletic and academic, to help each other to reach their goal and help them fight every obstacle they have in front together, to depend on each other to relive things on.
