Personal Statement

My name is Montgomery Drew Holland and I like to think I could be a great asset to any structured team. I fit best around coaches who allow me to be free in how I'm wired. I am more analytical and engineered in the various approaches to the game but also have a strong competitiveness regarding the sport. I have the resilience to overcome many obstacles, as I have had many trials in my few years of living as it relates to basketball. I have learned that nothing comes easy but it surely is worth it when you add a little bit of hard work and grit. My future is set on a business career, using my talents perhaps on an international level since I'm also fluent in French. I love the game of basketball and I continue to find new reasons as I consistently grow and surround myself with others that align with the goals that I have planned for myself in the years ahead.

Prep Hoops Spring Exposure Session

Entering the basketball spring exposure session camp brought excitement and nerves, mainly because I hadn't yet secured a spot with any team. However, rather than letting anxiety overwhelm me, I channeled it into a drive to showcase my abilities. Focusing on refining my defensive techniques and emphasizing my team-oriented approach, I aimed to prove my value on the court. This period of uncertainty motivated me to work diligently on my skills, knowing that diligent practice would ensure my readiness when the opportunity to play finally arose. As the saying goes, I'm spending this time sharpening the axe so that my skills will be razor-sharp when the moment arrives.
