Sapphira Mathews '23 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play basketball throughout college and work towards being a Nurse. What makes me different from other recruits is I am already balancing work, school, & extracurricular activities. 

I have been playing basketball for as long as I can remember, and the thing I love most about it is that I get to step on the court and compete in something I love. One of my greatest strengths, so I have been told, is that I am constantly looking to improve in everything I do; practice makes progress, not perfection. There is always room for improvement.

Additionally, one of my biggest assets is that I am willing to play whatever position necessary to help my team. I also feel that my commitment to playing multiple sports makes me different from a lot of other recruits. My experience in both High School and club teams for Basketball and track show that whatever I pursue I want to compete against the best. Basketball and other athletics have always been a major part of my life and I am excited about the opportunity to take my athletic career to the next level.
