Being fortunate enough to live in an area that offers basketball year around has helped me become a more all around player. Along with my school team I have played with and against players in Memphis, Tennessee since the seventh grade. You learn physical toughness as well as mental toughness playing against athletes from in and around a city like Memphis. I believe this will help me move on to the next level.
I don't think that you have to be the leading scorer on a team to be valuable. Playing defense, blocking out on the both ends of the court, and always passing the ball to the man with the open shot are just as important as scoring. If you do these things well the scoring will come. I have been working hard to increase my strength and quickness. I love the weight room! I am looking forward to growing into the player and the man I know I can become on the college level.
