Aaliyah Cartagena '20 Recruiting Profile

"TinyMighty" ...one of the many nicknames people refer to me as.  I aspire not to be the best, but to be the player every child looks up to.  Growing up in a small town has filled me with the desire to make everyone proud. Most will describe me as competitive, talented, and fierce; with a teaspoon of motivation to keep playing. My passion is ignited by the support of the people around me. Living in a small town has taught me to play for those who live their dreams through me.  By reaching the personal goal of 100 stolen bases, it was the first step to re-writing history. 

"All it takes is dedication, and hustle. You can't teach hustle, it is something you're born with it. So prove to me, you were gifted with hustle. The type that never gives up. In order to make it big in anything you do, you must never give up...you must always keeping hustling." - Dad

I can't promise to be the perfect athlete and play perfect games, but I can promise that I will never stop hustling.  All the dreams of my small town depend on it.
