Melissa Gregory '17 Recruiting Profile

I would like to go to college to get a Bachelor's of Science in Athletic Training and minor in Nutrition. After I finish my BS I will get a DPT (Doctoral in Physical Therapy). My dream is to use the knowledge I have acquired from my learning years to help the Wounded Warrior Amputees. This love for soldiers has come from my father and his 27 year service in the U.S. Army. Being an Army Brat has also given me great people skills and leadership skills come very easy. The strive for perfection never stops and the want to help others always makes me push not only myself but my teammates too. I strongly believe in the saying, "No soldier left behind." My father has been my coach in everything, including golf. Moving around about every two years it's hard to have a professional coach. This challenge does not stops me, but drives me to be the best. Playing golf I have leanred you need to be able to go from a broad view to focusing in on a small ball. In golf you always need to play this shot now but still plan for your next shot. If the shot doesn't fix your plan then you need to change your plan. Off the course I have also learned these characteristics through the military and my family.
