Bédi Ndinsil '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated hard worker with long term visions. To me every year is a learning year, and my principle is that no matter how big or small the step, I must continue to move forward.  I am very disciplined and capable of working independently without the use of supervision. I set very specific goals to myself whether it's in the academic point of view or athletics and I am strict with myself when it comes to achieving them. I never let myself be too low in motivation or too high when it comes to athletics in order to maintain my focus on my objectives. My grades are not exceptional at the moment and I already understand that it's my main weakness, but I'm very resourceful when things aren't going the way I want them too and I am working hard to turn things around in my favor. Good values is crucial for me, I never forget the conditions I grew up in, the way my parents raised me and I always keep my faith in God at the very top in whatever it is that I do.  I have great team spirit and am always willing to represent my team's colors everywhere I go. I seek an atmosphere of competitiveness where I can look around and see that any day, someone can sneak up on me. That is why I wish to work along side the very best, not because I'm too good for where I am, but because I want to work on perfecting myself as an athlete daily without thinking that ''I can take it easy today because I'm already faster than (fill in the blank)''. I work perfectly with coaches especially in 1-on-1 training. I ask the good questions every time in order to perfect my technique and inform myself on the reason behind particular exercises in order to push me even further. I am a visual type of learner. I understand that different schools have their criteria in order to accept student-athletes and I use those criteria to set myself short term goals and progressively climb my way up whether it's in school or in track.
