Personal Statement
I am motivated through basketball because I know how good of a player I can become. This belief makes me grind even harder and takes my mind off everything bad happening in my life. One thing basketball has taught me is that while it is an emotional sport, it helps you develop real world skills that can be applied everyday life. Basketball has also taught me to accept failures with grace and come back stronger next time. By doing this I have realized it is not really the loss or the win that makes a difference, but the effort you give to reach your goal.
