Personal Statement
Basketball has helped shape me into the person I am today. Learning about dedication and commitment has helped in many aspects of my life, from taking pride in the classroom, to being a great leader. Basketball has taught me more than just basketball. It has taught me to set my goals high and work at them everyday to achieve them. I not only want to succeed at a high level on a college basketball court, I want to go to a school that I can get a great education. I am a player with a high basketball IQ and one that works hard day in and day out to get better. I take pride in leadership and doing anything it takes to win. I will help your team at the combo guard position by playing hard defense, handling the ball, scoring and assisting my teammates. I will also do the little things in making hustle plays and grabbing rebounds. For these reasons, I am different from other recruits and will work my tail off for the success of the team. I also love to succeed in the classroom and get satisfaction from making school a priority. My parents have instilled in me that character is everything. I strive to be a genuine and kind person. No matter what, I will keep working hard to get better at the game of basketball, the sport I love.
