Gracie Sorenson '22 Recruiting Profile

     My parents are the most influential people in my life, and have the most influence in my life so far. Both played college sports and were stand-out athletes in Utah when they were in high school.Their love of the game, and their love of competition transferred over to me as I got older. I have been playing basketball for as long as I can remember. Because of basketball I have learned  many things about myself. They include learning how to work hard, that I can do hard things, that I can push myself, and that I can do anything if I just put my mind to it and believe in myself. The highlights of my basketball career so far have been when I helped my high school team make it to the state tournament. We made it my freshman year for the first year in 7 years, and my sophomore year we had our first tournament win in 9 years, and we were able to make it the quarter finals. I have loved every second of being on the court with my teammates in high school and club.

  I have big goals for myself academically. I want to make it through high school with a 4.0, which I have been successful with so far. I want to be able to take as many CE and AP classes as possible so I am able to get prepared and ready for college. When in college I plan on getting my masters degree, but I am currently undecided on what I want to major in. In college, though I know it will be challenging with basketball, I still plan on trying my hardest to get straight A's, and exceed in my education. Education, basketball, and family are the three most important things in my life, and I don't see that changing any where in the near future. I love basketball with my whole heart. I love working hard and getting better. I love cheering on my teammates and making new friends, but most of all I love winning, and that is what I could bring to your college program. I will do everything in my power to better myself and my teammates, pushing us to get better and to work hard, and to win.
