The game of basketball has shaped me and continues to shape me into who I am today. The sport has taught me to be a better man, son, player, and teammate. Everday when I step onto the court, I focus on improving my skills, confidence, and good demeanor so when come gametime I know that my hard work has paid off and I am the best player and teammate on the floor. As a player, I value being coachable, gritty, and diligent no matter what team my team and I face. As a student in the classroom, I value being attentive, engaging, and persevering at whatever assignment comes my way. My main goal as a student athlete is to help contribute to a winning program by buying into the coach's program and pushing my teammates to become the best players they can be.
