Nicholas Kanjou '15 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a little boy, I always watched and played basketball. The main reason why was, because I always wanted to do things my older brother did. I would learn from him and his mistakes and do better. I would shoot in the backyard every day and night after school when I lived in Chicago.I would challenge kids around the neighborhood of Chicago, because I wanted to get better as a player individually and try to be the best in my class. As i got older I developed my shot and it got better and better due to the hard work and practice I put in. We moved to Lincolnwood when I was a 5th grader and i got invited by the varsity team to try out. I tried out I played my best, but I got cut. I felt miserable and wanted to quit, but instead I worked harder and harder at my game. I watched film of role model athletes who inspired me, I did private training, and just being in the gym when I had free time. After all my hard work and dedication I'm still not satisfied with my game, I keep looking for more room to improve my game and myself as an individual. My goal is to play College ball for a great school with great education and a great coach at a high level of competition. My dream like every other kids dream would be to play professional basketball somewhere, weather its overseas, or the NBA.
