Justin Petersen '16 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play basketball at college.  I am an all around athlete and have received varsity letters in four sports; Basketball, Football, Soccer and Track.  I'm a fierce competitor and consider myself a team oriented player which allows for my team to win. My coach says my best attributes are hustle and defensive pressure.   I also am a member of my schools'  JROTC which has taught me leadership and self-discipline, which I use on the court.  Work ethic and self improvement are ideals taught to me by my Dad who retired after 25 years of service in the Marine Corps.  I understand the role of citizenship (community) and have accumulated over 70 community service hours my last three years. I am very dedicated and focused on achieving any goals I set my mind to. I also know how to balance my grades with sports very well and excel in both areas!
