Personal Statement
My name is Harrison Cleary and playing college basketball has been my goal since fourth grade. I have been in the gym six or seven days a week since I was in fourth grade working with my personal trainers, my AAU teams and the lst three years with my high school team. I believe one player does not make a team, and pride myself on my defensive abilities as much as my offensive abilities. I understand the importance of being a team player and using my leadership skills to help my teammates both on and off the court achieve the goals for the season. I am looking forward to attending a University where my basketball skills will help the team and where my major will be Business Administration. My two main goals are 1) to obtain a college degree from a top University that will prepare me to move on to graduate school and 2) to play college basketball. I look forward to bringing my strong work ethic both in academics (3.71 GPA) and athletics, as well as my leadership skills, to a University where my contributions in and out of the classroom will benefit the University.
