To those who may inquire:
I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Templin as a coach, supervisor and friend since 2011. Darci first
started as a client of mine during her senior year of high school when she came to my training facility,
Athletic Republic, with the intentions of becoming a faster sprinter. Darci’s work ethic and focus
immediately set her apart from all my other high school and collegiate clients and put her on a level I
had only witnessed with my professional athletes. Her attitude day in and day out was not to merely
survive the workout but rather attack it and make the most out of her training time. This attitude was
recognized by my other athletes and Darci quickly became the admiration of our facility because of her
talent but also her humility. My other athletes looked forward to training alongside Darci as she would
help push them to do their best but did so in a way that made them feel comfortable and made for a
great training atmosphere which speaks to her natural ability to lead.
Darci accepted a scholarship offer to compete as a student athlete at Northwood University where my
company was contracted to train the middle distance runners; so now, I had the pleasure to coach her
at the collegiate level. Darci carried over her love of training to the next level and made an immediate
impact on the track as a member of the school record 4x400m relay team but her presence was felt off
the track as well. Darci was trusted with hosting major recruits, organizing team events and fundraising
and she did so while maintaining a GPA of 3.4. As a coach, we don’t typically trust these responsibilities
to our underclassmen, let alone a freshman but Darci has the ability to juggle multiple tasks and excel
while doing so.
During the summer following her freshman year, Darci asked if she would be able to complete an
internship through Athletic Republic and given her ability to multi task, leadership skills, familiarity of
the athletes and the program; it was a no brainer. Because of her intrapersonal skills, she was able to
adapt the training to each individual and make it a truly unique experience for each client she worked
with. Darci was the best intern I have had since we opened our doors at Athletic Republic. Her character
is exactly what I look for when hiring staff and if I could find 5 more of her, I would hire them in a
heartbeat.
I have since moved on to CMU as an assistant coach with the Track and Field team but I have remained
in contact with Ms. Templin and still train at Athletic Republic. I am very proud of Darci as a coach and
seeing her progress on the track is a testament to her work ethic and commitment to bettering herself,
but the real joy has been watching her grow as a person. She is self-motivated, intelligent, trustworthy
and has a contagious personality that would be an asset to any company and Ms. Templin has my full
endorsement for any position she is pursuing.

6. To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter of behalf of Darci Asel-Templin. I have had the honor of having Darci in a
number of classes in the Entertainment and Sports Promotions Management (ESPM)
department at Northwood University where I’m a sports law/sports management professor.
Darci excels in a number of areas. She has been a top student in my classroom, being an active
participant and always adding excellent points to the various discussions we have in class. She is
also involved with the ESPMA, the student group for our department. With her assistance the
ESPMA has been the most active group on campus this past year. I serve as the faculty advisor
for the ESPMA.
Darci is also a true student-athlete. She is on the track team as well she works within the athletic
department assisting with various events. She also has a job on campus working in admissions. It
is rare to find someone who is a total all around student-athlete, excelling in all areas while
giving back unselfishly to assist others.
If you cannot tell I am very fond of Ms. Asel-Templin and give her my highest recommendation.
Any organization with the opportunity to hire this young lady should jump at the opportunity.
You may reach me at any time to further discuss.
