Angelina Jean-Podkonjak '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Angelina. I have been involved with basketball for 7 years, and have developed a strong love for the game. Basketball has taken me to places I never thought I could go. This life happens for me and basketball happens for me. 

From an athletic standpoint, I have been playing basketball for seven years and have consistently been in the weight room as well.  A healthy mind and body is a must for athletes, something that I take pride in. As I continue my basketball career into high school it is important for me to be outside of myself and to always fail forward, to express gratitude and to remain consistent. I will be the leader, no matter what the situation is. 

Like many, I believe that a successful career in sports cannot be fulfilled without a strong academic presence. I have taken my education very seriously from the beginning. As of right now, I would like to pursue a career in nutrition and dietetics. I am one with an aspiration to inspire and help others, and I feel that pursuing a career in this field is a way to combine helping others, with my academic strong suit.  As I finish up high school, my dream of becoming a college basketball player constantly fuels my desire to become the best teammate, friend, and athlete I can be.
