Personal Statement
I am a hard-working athlete and have always given my best. I believe in the value of hard work and dedication. As of my Junior year, I am ranked in the top 20 of my class. I have achieved many different athletic awards with my teams. I have been playing basketball for many seasons and I know how to be smart while playing the game. I am a determined student and athlete, doing what I can to better myself both on and off the court. I am usually one of the first players to practice and one of the last to leave.
I have also attended many different basketball workshops and camps including: University of Kentucky Basketball Camp for two years, Dan Sparks Team Basketball Camp for two years, and this past summer I played for the Central Illinois Elite AAU basketball team. This year I am playing for the Southern Illinois Select basketball team. I am determined to better myself at this sport every way possible and take every opportunity to do so. I am currently being trained by two highly successful experienced college coaches in my spare time.
In addition to attending a college/university with a basketball program, I am looking for one with a good academic program. I would like to attend a college with a good Engineering or Accounting program. I am easy to get along with and easy to coach. I aspire to be the best athlete I can be. I would like to have the opportunity to play college basketball, and feel I would be a great asset for any college.
