Reference

 

To whom it may concern,

As Lilly's athletic coach, I have had significant involvement with her over the last several years.

Lilly is hard working and has a strong work ethic. Living far away from where we train, she walks to training after school and makes the most effort to be at each training session, motivating others to do the same.

Giving her best each time, Lilly always trains hard and expects a high standard of herself. Personally, she is always polite and someone who pursues her dreams. She also shows great leadership skills, taking charge of the warm-up without being asked, motivating teammates, and encouraging the young athletes in our group.

Lilly is very coachable. Always listening to specific instructions and going above and beyond to deliver excellent results. She enjoys every aspect of training, from the social easy run to intense workouts. She is very competitive, espeically within herself, and is constantly working to improve her times.

I have the highest regard for Lilly. She is deservedly held in high esteem by the coaches and her teammates at our athletic club . She is one of our most outstanding young ladies, demonstrating initiative, determination, and persistence in all her areas of endeavour. She is a mature, well-presented, friendly, and consistently courteous young lady who is trustworthy and reliable. Despite her achievements, she shows humility and genuine compassion for others. I believe her to be of excellent character. I recommend Lilly to you without hesitation.

Warm best wishes,

Mr. Pablo Urena Vega
