Personal Statement
I have been playing basketball since kindergarten. Beside standing out on school, AAU and CYO teams, I have worked on my skills religiously and am probably the best ball handler I have come across. I can run an offense and breakdown my man off the dribble at will. This leads to many finishes at the basket and dishes to my teammates for open shots. I also have a true jumpshot that I can comfortably hit well past the college 3 point line. Additionally I also have an excellent pull up and step back jumper.
I have always been considered the fastest player on any team on which I played and strive to be the hardest worker on the court at all times which shows on defense where I am a shut down man to man defender who also causes many turnovers. As far as my strength goes, early in my junior I could bench press 220 pounds. I now use dumbells and higher reps and I have gotten significantly stronger.
In college I'd like to focus on kinesiology and exercise science, criminal justice, homeland security or physical education. I am open to all options but I am positive I can play at the highest level of college basketball. I also know I am capable of excelling academically and I have recently doubled down on my studies.
