Julia Banister '23 Recruiting Profile

I have competed in gymnastics since I was very young and in high school I started diving as a way to stay in shape during the off season. I had minimal coaching throughout high school but still experienced some success and qualified for State Championships. My senior year I had the opportunity to work with a private coach for a few months and everything changed. I truly found my passion for the sport of diving! With some great coaching I placed first in nearly all of our meets and won our League competition, achieving 1st Team All Conference. To continue my training, I have now begun to dive on the competitive team at Mile High Dive Club. I believe what sets me apart from other athletes is that I have just scratched the surface of my potential as a diver. With just a few months of great coaching I made an immense amount of progress! Imagine where I will be after club diving for six months where I can focus on and gain great skills on 3 meter! I am confident that with continued private coaching, club diving, and a lot of hard work, I would be a great  addition to a collegiate diving program.
