To Whom It May Concern:
It has been a pleasure coaching Lydia Neyer and watching her evolve over
the past three years on the girls varsity basketball team. Her passion,
dependability, and hardworking attitude made her an invaluable asset to our
team. Lydia was a very coachable young lady; always focused, determined
to improve and dedicated to her teammates. This year, her senior season,
Lydia was faced with several challenges which she overcame with
extraordinary poise, confidence and wisdom beyond her years.
Lydia continued to grow, learn and adapt throughout her high school career
not only as a basketball player, but also as an extraordinary person. She has
an incredible work ethic and strives for excellence in everything she pursues.
Lydia models outstanding character and consistently demonstrates a
willingness to help others. She is tenacious in the face of adversity, utilizing
her strengths to ensure success. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the
opportunity to coach Lydia and become acquainted with her the past few
years.
For these reasons, along with Lydias displayed integrity, dedication and
overall stellar performance, I respectfully request that serious consideration
be given to her for any endeavor.
Sincerely,

Penny M. Ervin
