Jaidyn Jordan '24 Recruiting Profile

I believe I can make it to the top step of the podium, even if it is propped up by blood, sweat, tears, and a ton of sacrifice.   I am motivated by the desire to beat my competition, crush my current personal best, and prove to myself that all the hard work wasn’t for nothing.  My biggest competition is myself, the need to succeed is within me.  I have the ability to set and achieve goals.   Early mornings, sore muscles, broken bones, sacrifices - my self discipline comes from putting sports first.  I love feeling part of the team and knowing I play a valuable role.  I am a natural leader and am known for my focus, sense of motivation, and innate ability to bring out the best in both myself and those around me.  I understand the importance of remaining coachable — that is, taking criticism at every opportunity and learning from it.  There is always room for improvement, and that improvement will come only with more training, more coaching, more sweat, and more heart.    I am able to compartmentalize my worries to focus on the task at hand.  I have a strong sense of focus that allows me to remain in the moment, regardless of who is in the stands or what occurred that morning.  The journey to the top is a long one, but but I have been taught the  trait of trusting in the system.  The process may be long, but no one becomes the best by taking the shortcut.  I have killer instinct and the courage to make tough, spur-of-the-moment decisions that often mean the difference between winning and losing.  A final push of effort, even when the tank is empty, often separates me from others. I have an  innate sense of aggression and fight, to ensure that I always cross the finish line having given my all.  Through the shedding of blood, sweat, and tears, I appreciate the early mornings, the relentless travel, the devoted friends and teammates, and every single other challenge. I appreciate the experiences because they allow me to continue chasing my goals and my dreams.
