Personal Statement
Hello to all the coaches who are seeing this. My name is Lance Gardner I'm from San Leandro California, I'm also a freshmen at Castro Valley while playing for the freshmen team. Although basketball is my favorite sport, I'm also a hard worker when it comes to school. I always show up to class prepared, I never ditch, and I always study before quizzes and test. During my 8th grade year which was last year, I won MVP for Redwood Christian averaging 12.8 points per game, 5.6 assists per game, 3 rebounds per game, 2.8 steals, as well as 1.2 blocks. My best game also occurred this same year, it was a tournament game, even though we lost 59 to 56, I ended up with 25 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds. This year I was in a whole new environment, a much bigger school with higher expectations. During our season we had a lot of ups and downs. However I helped my team reach the finals of the San Lorenzo tournament. When my senior year does come, I hope different coaches will not only see me as an excellent basketball player and student, but as a good person. I'm a good candidate for any college team because I'm a hard worker, I encourage my teammates on and off the court, and I'm extremely competitive. What makes me different from other recruits is that I've played in different leagues at different levels, I know how different the competition level is. As far as academics, I'm a student who wants to learn something new everyday.
I hope you enjoyed this statement, thank you.
