Personal Statement
I have been playing basketball since I was in Kindergarten! I love playing the game, I love watching the game and I have dreamed of playing college basketball for a really long time! The college I attend must have a distinguished Engineering program, as my education is just as important to me as the game of basketball. I want to go anywhere that challenges me in the classroom and on the court.
I am a great candidate for your team because of three major things: my basketball IQ, my work ethic and my commitment to the game. I'm coachable and always ready for a challenge. I am honest, hard working and dependable, both on and off the court.
I have been fortunate enough to participate in the Adidas Phenom 150 camp in San Diego, CA for the past 3 years, have played on various AAU, club teams and travel teams allowing me to play against some of the best talent in the country.
Currently, I am attending Lyman High School and have a 4.5 GPA.
During my junior season, I averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds a game, as my high school team finished 9-16. While our season as a team was inconsistent at times, I did receive some individual honors such as the All-State Academic Team and the All-State Team from the Florida Athletic Coaches Association. I lead my team in rebounds and blocks and was third in scoring. I continue to work on my game and stay diligent in the classroom as I move into my senior season.
My goal is to play college basketball, earn my degree in Engineering and represent my school, my team and my family with pride.
