Personal Statement
Growing up in Indiana, basketball isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle. I am passionate about playing basketball, but basketball doesn't define me. Family and school are my highest priorities but basketball is a close third. I play football but enjoy the competitiveness and pace of play of basketball much more. Each day I am committed to getting better whether it is putting in a hard workout in the gym, pushing myself to the limit in the weight room, or shooting baskets in the driveway with my friends, brother, or dad. Basketball is always on my mind, and I dream of playing at the collegiate level one day. My hopes are to earn the right to play at a DI level, but I am open to all opportunities to continue my education while playing basketball. I understand that it takes excellent work ethic and great ability to make it to this level, and I believe that I have the skills necessary and the toughness to make it all the way.
