Personal Statement
My name is Ken Meyer. I am a 5’11” point / shooting / combo guard currently attending Wesley Chapel High School in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Prior to moving to Florida, I played two years at Dublin High School in Dublin, California, as well as played five years in AAU programs throughout Northern California. I bring a strong work ethic, no-fear attitude and unmatched hustle to every team I play for. My coaches have come to depend on me for my defensive intensity, heads up team play and my ability to drive to the bucket or spot up and hit mid- and long-range jumpers. My team mates always tell me I am one of the fastest players on the court which contributes greatly to making defensive stops or leading in fast breaks. My AAU coach gave me a great compliment saying that I am very coach-able.
In addition to basketball, I have also achieved a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, honing my skills through discipline, hard word and determination. As a two-sport athlete, I know I have what it takes to make a positive impact on your team. I am looking for a school that has the right balance of academics and athletics where I can continue to play basketball at a high level while pursuing my interests in science and business.
