Personal Statement
Hello coaches,
My name is Jorge Pablo Lázaro Tortajada, I was born on September 9th, 2000 in Zaragoza, Spain. I am currently studying my last year of High School in Montearagón School in Zaragoza. Last year I have a 3.4 GPA. I have been playing basketball in Basket Zaragoza (CAI Zaragoza) for six years, current club of Spanish ACB League. I am currently playing in both the U18 team and the EBA team.
My main interest as a student are getting good marks in the University. Also, my other objective is to learn as much English as possible too for my future, since I consider that it´s extremely important for getting any job. I would like to get a scholarship and fulfill my dream of studying and playing basketball in the USA. As a basketball player, my objectives are to improve little by little everyday, to get an important role in the Spanish championship as we have already done other times, and to win the Zaragoza league. But what I would love to do the most is to be able to play this sport in the USA.
As a basketball player, I can play in several positions, like shooting guard, forward and also in several times as a power forward.
I started to play basketball since I was 9 years old thanks to my parents, who also played basketball. I have been chose to play in the regional team of my state every year since I am 12. I currently attend training sessions 5 days a week, playing one or two games in the weekends, and going to the weight room 4 times a week.
Apart from basketball as my favorite hobby, (play the game, watching NBA games and so on) , I also have others like sports such as soccer or tennis. I love the cinema very much, listening different kinds of music, etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon and thanks for your time,
Jorge Pablo Lázaro Tortajada.
