Personal Statement
Thank you for viewing my profile. My love for the game of basketball is enormous. I have played this game for as long as I can remember, from playing on the driveway where I have grown up, to competitively on the court. Basketball has taught me patience and responsibility. I am told by local media and coaches that I have not reached my full potential as an athlete. I never want to stop learning and I want to improve as an athlete and as a person. I seek to be the best in everything I do. I have realized that hard work doesn't always pay off, but that it is okay because failure can sometimes be a more valuable lesson than victory. Although I do prefer to win.
Basketball has taught me how to connect with others to achieve a goal. I have met great challenges, and pushed myself to overcome them. Being part of a basketball team has given me the confidence to perform in front of thousands, how to win gracefully and lose humbly.
I want to continue to play basketball at the next level while I continue my education and pursue a degree. I feel I would be a great addition to your team.
