Spence McDonald '19 Recruiting Profile

    I’ve always been someone who enjoys competition. Sport has taught me focus and that I must be disciplined and willing to put in whatever time it takes to be my best if I really want to be successful. I have started on my varsity team since my sophomore year which has allowed me to gain more experience as I develop as a basketball player. These experiences have helped me understand that hard work is a necessary key to being successful in any aspect of life. In order to compete at a high level I have taken a strength and conditioning approach to change my body and become an elite athlete in my sport. I take pride in working hard on both ends of the court. I have come to realize that playing sports teaches not only athletic skills but also life skills through recognizing one’s responsibility to do his best for his team members, supporting each other through good times and bad, and demonstrating positive conduct on and off the court that will reflect positively on the whole team. I will continue to work on my academic as well as athletic skills in order to qualify to play at the next level.
