Nadine Tafolla '21 Recruiting Profile

Nike says, ¨Just do it.¨ And I am determined to follow that advice. I have several goals  to accomplish,  and I will take all necessary steps to achieve this success. My first goal is to finish senior year with good grades,improving in basketball, receiving scholarships,and putting on my cap and gown. My second goal is to go college while playing basketball and graduating. My third goal is to finish med school and become a pediatrician. To achieve my goals I am ready to accept the challenges along the way. What makes me a good candidate for a basketball team? As a team player and member, It is important to connect with team members because having a connection with each other allows us to work together as team. I as a team member will support my team members in every way possible. Communication is the biggest part of being a team because without communication we have nothing. There are many things that make me different from other recruits or I could be like someone in similar ways. Me as a person,  I do come off as shy but being with a team definitely breaks me out of that shell and I am this new person who loves getting to know new people and having so much energy to play comes along. Athletic wise, I do like to be competitive when it comes to basketball however I also know to have fun with playing the game. Basketball is a sport I take big interest in and playing in college would be a dream come true. Dealing with academics, I do pretty well in school especially this year my senior year and I´m proud of  how well I am doing. I do have some rough patches throughout the school year but when I push myself, I always end up back on top. As Nike says, ¨Just do it.¨
