Aline Barton '18 Recruiting Profile

    My collegiate goals and aspirations would be to complete college without no regrets and to be proud of myself and my achievements in college. I want to leave college to be able to support myself and my family in the future confidently. The characteristics I have to offer to coaches to be a good candidate for their team would be that I will try my absolute best in completing any task a coach asks of me. I´m the kind of person that follows by ¨go big or go home.¨  I have great goals and I am a go getter.  I am also a great team leader and encourage my teammates as well as others to ensure they are being the best they can be.

    What makes me different in my character is I love to talk and whenever I get the opportunity to talk to someone, I take it, so it is not that hard for me to make friends.  In athletics, I am very consistent and I do not like to give up easily,  whether it is mental or physical.  My coaches have always told me that I am very coachable and that I take the initiative to ask what can I do to be a better player.  Academics does not come easy to me, so I have to study more that others usually do, or do more work because academics is not my finest trait, but I do not give up and work hard to achieve my goals.  Usually the results of how good I do in my academics make me proud and keeps me pushing forward, and that helps with the aspect of me not giving up so easily.  In the end I am pretty sure I can be a good candidate for a team, I am currently in club volleyball in my last year and I am also an Assistant Coach for the 12s team at my volleyball club.  I believe in leadership and team work to lead our team in the ultimate goal of being the best we can be together.
