Sophia Cellini '27 Recruiting Profile

I am an eighth-grade home schooled Christian student athlete that plays Varsity golf for Konos Academy High School.  I am results oriented with both long- and short-term goals.  My short-term goals for the 2023 season are: to become a single digit handicap (currently 11.3 index), win the 2023 GAPPS co-ed middle school state championship, place in the top 10 of the 2023 GAPPS co-ed varsity state championship, lead Konos Academy to their first varsity state championship, and place 1^st in a Hurricane Tour tournament.  My long-term goals are: win the 2024 GAPPS co-ed varsity state championship (as a freshman), have a tournament handicap index of 5.0 or less, and play in my first AJGA tournament.

The traits that are the cornerstone of my success are: my Christian faith, volunteering at the children’s ministry at my church, being a supportive teammate that helps others reach their goals, being self-motivated, and being passionate for winning (especially versus boys).  These traits keep me focused on achieving my goals, ensure that I am a supportive teammate, and always maintaining a positive attitude.
