Anaya Powell '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to be a student athlete. I would like to play for a school where not only I can play basketball at the next level but manifest my desire to earn a degree in Health Sciences. I am a natural born leader, very determined, motivated, and a great student. I am open to learn new things and always looking for ways to improve my skills and IQ of the game. Learning the game from my dad has been great! He has always shared with me that I have to bring something extra special to my team, which for me I love putting fear on opposing point guards with my aggressive play at both ends of the court. My dad calls me "tenacious" and considers that to be my "something extra special" that helps give my team shot at winning each game. I learned over my years of playing that being a point guard means "I'm an extension of the coach on the floor." I pride myself on being knowledgeable of all team plays and studying opponents strengths and weaknesses. I take my role in leadership very seriously. "I'm a player that will lead by example and inspire my teammates."  As we say in the West Michigan, "basketball is life" and one day I hope to live out my life playing basketball for your team.
