Paxton Stimpson '19 Recruiting Profile

    From a very young age I fell head over heels for sports. I can remember watching the NBA finals in 2008, watching my favorite Boston Celtics play Kobe and the Lakers. This is where my love of sports really kicked. I never put down the ball. I would constantly watch and study the players and there moves. This love and passion is what has driven me to want to become an Athletic Trainer. I want to be able to fuel the love and passion for the game, just like how I did. I want to be able to give kids the best opportunity to play at he highest level they can. Sports is really what keeps me motivated.

    This love has turned into impeccable work ethic, on the court and in the classroom. I think this trait is my biggest upside. I never stop working at something. I think I can fit in with any group of people, as I am friendly. One of the biggest things I believe in is family and carrying that onto a team.

    I have outstanding grades in both my high school and early college courses. I put 110% effort into my school work and into basketball. I strive to be the best I can be at any one thing.  I am very driven and coach-able. Basketball has always been the biggest motivation in my life and I would love to continue with it for the rest of my academics.
