Catherine Swanson '20 Recruiting Profile

I am self-driven.  I push myself and have been for several years now. As a human being I was taught at a very young age to respect my health, push my body push my mind and most of all be grateful for the privileges and opportunities I have been given and...to not complain.

Academically, I also work independently and in our home I was raised to understand that education is one of the most important things in life and something that can never be taken away from you. My grades are the utmost importance to me. My goal is to get a degree in International Relations. I would like to eventually work in the area of leading various entities to support worldwide disaster relief. 

The thought of having the opportunity to be part of a college basketball team that may also result in a scholarship to support my education is very exciting to consider. 

I seek out and appreciate tough coaches with tough workouts. If I am going to spend hours working out I want to get the very most out of every moment of it. 

I am passionate about nutrition and serve as an example to my teammates in this area.  Although I have been teased relentlessly about my healthy eating habits by both my high school and club team, I think eventually they will realize how nutrition affects their stamina and overall game. 

As a teamate and a leader to both my high school and club team I strive to not only push myself but also my teammates to get better, holding them accountable on and off the court. I am confident in abilities as a student, friend, and athlete to overcome any adversity that I may face.
