Fall 2016 Workout...2015-2016 Highlig...2016-17 HighlightsPersonal Statement
It is has always been my goal to play college basketball. I am aspiring to play for a division 1 or division 2 program as a college student athlete.
During my high school basketball career, our team was 96-10. As a sophomore, I started every game and our team won the state championship with a 30-0 record. I know what it takes to win and how to be part of a winning program. I am a quick learner and know how to take a coach's instructions and apply it to achieving team goals.
The past four years have taught me hard work can get you anywhere; and through it, you can achieve anything. I am very hard working and goal oriented. I maintain a 3.5 GPA while taking classes at Edison State Community College through the College Credit Program. I am on pace to graduate high school with a high school diploma and an Associates of Science degree from Edison State Community College.
I am a multi-sport athlete and understand how to prioritize time and effort. Although I play multiple sports, I remain focused on my ultimate goal; which is to receive a scholarship and pursue a college education.
