Lily Emberton '24 Recruiting Profile

My goal as a student-athlete is to make my team better as a whole by being the best I can be athletically and academically.  I would be a good candidate for your team because I have an excellent work-ethic, I put my team before myself, I have a positive attitude, and I am always lifting up my team.  I am always smiling and I have an easy-going and giving personality, which helps me make friends quickly and easily.  I am very athletically inclined, but I always push myself hard even if I really don't have to.  I am always giving everything I have into my academics because my academics is what is going to get me into and keep me in college.

When I was little, my step-dad married my mom and he loves sports, which is what sparked my drive to be the best I can be in everything I do.  I started playing softball in 2012 and I found that the sport was fun to me.  I've been playing ever since and my love for the sport hasn't diminished in the slightest!  By playing sports, I have learned that I value hard work and effort.  I have also learned that the harder I work, the better I feel about myself.  Playing sports allows me to work out my frustrations in a healthy fashion.  My academic goal for high school and college is to receive as much education as I can that way I can be successful in my future.  In fourth grade, I moved schools and I wasn't welcomed the way I had hoped.  However, this has made me realize that I will have to work for my friendships.  I now play softball for a travel team and my high school and I play volleyball on my high school team.  I currently sing the National Anthem at some of the Arkansas Razorbacks sporting events and during our season, I sing the National Anthem before the Sr. High volleyball games.
