Personal Statement

My name is Matthew Corona and playing basketball has always been a passion of mine. My goal is to play basketball at a collegiate level while obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science. I’m currently interested in majoring in Health Science because of my desire to help others. I became interested in playing basketball because of my older brother. He is 9 years older than me so playing basketball against older guys really helped shape my game.

Basketball has been a major part of my life and my drive and determination is something that propels me to want to be great. My team's shortcomings in past seasons make me push harder in order to strive for greatness and ultimately win a league championship. This summer, I put in the extra time and effort to expand my game. I’m a student of the game because I watch film of each game to see what I can improve on both offensively and defensively.

I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me academically and athletically. I know I have the talent to compete for a college team but my basketball ability, character, and work-ethic will allow me to make an impact at the college level.

ScoutsFocus Elite 80 Evaluation: Matthew Corona , a 5'11 2017 155 lb prospect of Santa Fe HS (CA), is a solid player with potential. Matthew possesses superb size for position and the prospect has very good length and superb athleticism. Matthew reported a superb academic resume and proved to have a superb basketball IQ. The prospect displayed superb shot selection in addition to being a superb shooter with time and space. The prospect was evaluated as having a fantastic body type for the next level. The player's strength was rated superb but should continue to develop with age and a regimented weight/conditioning program that includes push ups/jumping rope amongst other body weight and quickness drills. The player displayed a very good motor in addition to showing superb toughness. The 2017 prospect exemplified very good passing ability and very good ball handling skills. Finishing ability around the basket appeared to be very good and from an overall defensive standpoint the prospect is good. Defensively we would like to see continued improvement both on and off the ball in addition to always seeing ball and man. We would emphasize staying lower on both ends of the court. In addition, we would like you to continue learning how to play without the ball as most players only have the ball a max of 10% of the game (even less if you have ball stoppers on your team). We are excited to monitor this prospect's development in the future and would like to see continued improvement in all areas we rated as decent or good to fully maximize college potential. ScoutsFocus and our college coaching staff believes Matthew has college potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood. Can play the 1; 2; 3. Attended ScoutsFocus Elite 80 LOS ANGELES Camp on 8/27-28/2016.
