Emma Olivarez '22 Recruiting Profile

I began playing golf when I was 5 years old.  I love the game and feel blessed every time I get the opportunity to step on the course.  I take every opportunity to practice and play at our local course.  I have learned many life lessons on the course that will follow me into adulthood.  I have learned self discipline, perseverance, patience, how to communicate professionally, and the importance of etiquette. 

Having the opportunity to play varsity golf for Crawford High School has been such a wonderful experience.  Before I played with my high school team, golf was more of an individual sport for me.  It was always me against the course.   Being part of a team has not only helped me improve my game but taught me the benefit of working with teammates to reach a common goal.   I have learned to rely and trust others, praise the efforts of others, accept that people make mistakes, and support each other when needed.  I strive to be a leader in golf and for my team.  Coming from a small high school, there are not many girls that play golf.  I am constantly recruiting new members, scheduling additional practices, and planning activities to promote team bonding.  

Every day, every practice, every tournament, I strive to improve my game and be the best player I can be. I am excited for the opportunity to play at the college level with new coaches, new teammates, and new courses to further improve my game and grow as a person.
