Rachel Pflum '22 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations..-- 

My long term goals and aspirations are to  play women's basketball at a really high level and to get a really high education to pursue what I like to do academically. Basketball if was I love to do and everyday it seems like I don't get enough of it because of how much time and effort I put into it. Hobby wise; however, I do like to get out for a run every once and a while to clear the mind and put myself towards the community and help out as much as possible. 

For right now I am undecided in what I would like to pursue for my major or what I would like to do in he future. I am just about good at a little bit of everything so anything is on the table in terms of academics. In school, I like to keep up my grades and challenge myself in the school setting to give myself more options to what I can do in the later future. 

Playing basketball is a crucial part of my life and I have almost dedicated the majority of my time here in Fairhope to playing the sport I love to do. 

 What makes you a good candidate for their team?--

What makes me a good candidate for your team or any team for that matter is that I'm extremely unselfish. Maybe sometimes too unselfish but that qualities gives other teammates the chance for them to show off their stuff while I get the assist in the end. Other than that I am very good to get along with, I am versatile in almost every position, and I am a quick learner. I currently play the forward position and the center position even though I only stand at about 5'10-5'11. 

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?--

Although I bring a good amount of versatility to any roster, I mainly focus on making my teammates better individuals who make the entirety of the team better. I was recently selected as a part of 3 other representatives for my club team to participate in a Panama City All Star Tournament towards the end of the 2021 summer season.  Other than that I have also been apart of my high school team who got to regionals this year for the first time in my girls basketball career. I focus mainly on ways to make other people around me better as well as myself who always strives for a greater achievement than what I already have accomplished. There is always someone above you who can make you into a better player, and that's what I live by.
