Joel Alexander wh...Personal Statement
June 30, 2015
Something I wanted to share until I get my personal statement completed:
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Joel Alexander. Joel has been a player in the Glenwood Basketball program since he was in 6th grade. Throughout Joel’s time in the school district, I have had the opportunity to watch him grow from a young middle school player to a mature student athlete here at Glenwood High School.
During his time at GHS, Joel strived to display the basic characteristics needed to be a good student and leader. Each day, whether it was a practice or a game, Joel always made sure he gave an honest effort to help improve himself as a basketball player and also made sure he committed himself to a “team first” mentality. Although Joel's stats may not reflect high numbers, due to his role as a team player. Joel's ability to anticipate and defensively be aggressive are two of his biggest assets. He has a great insight to the game and sees the court very well. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Joel also worked very hard to improve his academic status. I strongly recommend that Joel Alexander be considered for any scholarship(s) he may apply for at your institution.
If you have any questions or desire more information regarding Joel Alexander, please feel free to contact me.
