Julianna Nardone '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello!  My name is Julianna or Jewels, for short.  I have been diving since 8th grade at clinics to get ready for my high school career in diving.  I was a competitive gymnast since the age of six and I retired at age 14.  I feel this gives me the edge for diving because I have always been taught to perfect my form, with gymnastics.  In my off season I continue to train to keep fit with speed and agility classes at a local sports gym. I often frequent a local gym to practice my tumbling for dives.  I also compete in track and field.  My specialties are pole vault and long jump.  I am dedicated and eager to learn new dives and perfect my old ones.  I am a work in progress, but learn quickly . Where I live we do not have any dive clubs close  ( within an hour and 1/2).  I work hard with other divers in the summer at the private pool I lifeguard for.  I work hard because, of course, I want to be the best for my coach, my team and myself. I have recently become a gymnastics coach at Bright Stars Gymnastics Academy.  I tumble regularly to keep in shape and improve my form for the upcoming dive season.  I am hoping to complete a degree in Marine Biology to go and work with marine life and preservation.  I would love for you to consider me for you team and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your time,

Jewels
