Pangos Frosh/Soph...Personal Statement
As a point guard, I've dedicated myself to becoming a well-rounded player. Beyond orchestrating plays and facilitating ball distribution, I've invested countless hours refining my dribbling, shooting, and defensive skills, relentlessly pursuing improvement. Versatility is a cornerstone of my approach, and I understand its value on the court.
Leadership is another role I embrace. Effective communication, motivation, and leading by example are crucial to me. Whether it's offering encouragement during challenging moments or celebrating teammates' successes, I prioritize fostering a positive team dynamic.
My daily routine is demanding, including early morning training before school and additional practice after evening team workouts. My commitment to film study, focusing on elite guards like Steph Curry, Chris Paul, and Damian Lillard, amplifying my basketball IQ and allowing me to integrate their techniques into my own game.
