lauren Gilchrist '20 Recruiting Profile

So, every year around the beginning of February I write down a list of goals for the upcoming summer/school golf season. I have a golf coach that I see pretty regularly, that helps me with my mental game. I fell that over the past two years my mental games has tremendously improved, and I can better control outcomes. For this upcoming golf season I have some big goals written down. I would like to win an individual state championship title, and I am trying to play in as many tournaments as possible and play as best as possible with some low rounds, so I can bring my overall ranking down. I want to play college golf, and after playing college golf my goals are to turn pro and play of the LPGA. I truly believe all this can happen, and if you know me very well I am a very positive person, no matter what happens in life I always try to stay positive and give myself a chance, because you never out of it. I think what makes me aa good candidate for your college golf team is that I am a very positive person, I like to be supportive of others that I am competing with, and I like to build relationships with others even if their better than me,  and most my golf friends know are older and better than me, but I put myself in that environment, because I think that's what it takes for me and my game to get better. Also, I am a super competitive person, and I do not like to lose. I am a die heart, never give up. Also, that is one of the sayings I live by everyday of my life is never give up no matter how hard times get. I am a good learner if a coach tells me to work on something I work, and also I practice and I am dedicated to practice, and I think me as a person can make practice fun for myself. I think what makes me different from other recruits in character is I am a very humble person, and I love to see others do well. Athletic wise, over the past few years I have really been interested in fitness, and crossfit, I run and exercise and tremendous amount everyday, so I can become stronger. Overall,  I am a very athletic person it is in my blood and I love sports. My academics is also another strong suit. Fortunately, I was blessed to be able to go to the best school in my area and maybe the state of Alabama. If you do not know I attend UMS-Wright Preparatory School,  my schools goal is to prepare everyone for college, their is elite classes that can be taken, and many other opportunities. I would say it is not a normal school their is extensive amounts of homework that I have to try and get some practice in, and work my time management skills.
