I understand the importance of the word TEAM. I always support and encourage my teammates and coaches. I am hardworking, positive, and outgoing. On the court I am willing to do whatever my role requires in order for my team to win. I am a solid team player who plays with grit, doing all the little things required in basketball. I consistently box out, take charges, get deflections, crash the boards and dive for lose balls. My coaches tell me I am the guy to go to when something is needed to change the momentum of a game. I play hard all the time, no matter what the level of competition is. Having coached several YMCA recreation teams I have developed a solid basketball IQ that has helped me be a reliable leader on the court. The game has taught me a lot about teamwork, leadership, and paying attention to the details that are often ignored.
My ultimate goal is to get a solid college education that will help secure my future. I have a good history in the classroom and I am involved in other afterschool activities, such as Student Government. These activities have helped shape me into a well-rounded person who will be an asset to any college that accepts me.
