Personal Statement
My name is Jeremiah Overall I’m 17 years old, my dad inspired me to play basketball, exposing me to the court at a very young age while watching him play. I remember after every game I use to chase my father around the court with this huge ball In my hand I could barely hold. Three years old is when I played in my first basketball game, the excitement I felt after hearing not only my family but strangers cheering me on after every shot I made, being the little one on the team. From then till now passion is what pushed me to work harder towards my dream all year around I’ve played basketball and trained while working hard towards developing the gifts Im blessed with. I have good ball handling skills, I can drive, score, pass and shoot. What sets me apart from others is that I’m also an defensive threat, I’m coachable, I have the drive and grit to win, and I’m also a great teammate. Off the court, I’m humble and stay focus I don’t get caught up into the social media hype and worldly drama. I maintain a high enough GPA to be eligible for scholarships which can be better. I also attend and volunteer at my church “Family Cristian Center.” I want to attend college where I can push pass my limits and push myself to be better in the classroom and also a better ball player. I’m open to all options thats a right fit for me both academically and sports related. I hope to make my parents proud and be a good role model to my younger siblings.
