Christian Cooper '15 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was very young I have always dreamed of playing college basketball. My goal is to play Division 1 or Division 2 basketball, then continue on to play professional or at the next level and more importantly to be a good role model for younger kids to look up too, and being a witness for Christ. It is difficult for me to get noticed because I go to a high school in a small town in Florida but that does not mean that I am not capable of being a force at the D1 or D2 level. I just want the chance to be able to prove what I can do. I love the game of basketball I will do anything I need to do to make myself a better player and a teammate, but I am also a follower of Christ. As a player I have great confidence in being able to get my shot off whenever I need to because of my God-given talent and work ethic that has caused me to spend thousands of hours in the gym working on all my skills. I can shoot the three contested or uncontested, or I can drive by my defender and take the ball to the hoop. My threat as an offensive player creates open shots and number of advantages for my teammates. When I focus and play hard on defense I can outmatch anyone I am guarding.
