Riley Cassidy '22 Recruiting Profile

ASPIRE HIGHER are two words that mean everything to me.  Academically, athletically, as daughter, sister, grandchild, cousin, friend, there is always room for improvement.  My parents have taught me to work hard in everything I do, they have emphasized the need to be bold, and always speak up for myself.  They've taught me that ANYTHING is possible if you work hard, practice and want it bad enough, and never let anyone tell me that I can't do something!  I also understand that one of the best things you need in life is a POSITIVE ATTITUDE, a bright outlook will help in school, it will help with friends and family and it 100% makes someone a great teammate.  Sometimes its hard to keep a positive attitude in certain situations, but I'm starting to understand that people who do well in life are those who don't listen to the critics, move forward, and smile.  Living in New Jersey, and being accepted into Episcopal Academy was a big deal for me, and proved to myself that with hard work, anything is possible! I love basketball, I love to compete, I love to win, most of all I love encouraging others and being a great teammate. 

My goal in 4 years is to be at a great college, one that is recognized for both academics and athletics, and knowing that I accomplished my goal by ASPIRING HIGHER everyday.
