Nikhil Sequeira '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a 19 year old, Australian citizen, graduated from The International School of Bangalore, India. Although I was born in India, I have been fortunate to live and grow in Dubai, Australia, Luxembourg and India which has given me vast knowledge and exposure to the different languages and cultures of the world. I speak English and French.

I have a die-hard passion, love and enthusiasm for sport since my childhood days. I had the opportunity to participate in and learn different sports like cricket, soccer, tennis, rugby, baseball and basketball. Of all, the game of basketball has ignited a deep love and passion which is why I would like to pursue and play college basketball. In the summer of 2011, I attended a 3 week basketball camp at the prestigious IMG Academy. I was stretched to my physical limits and every workout till exhaustion which helped me learn the importance of athleticism in basketball and it is my firm resolve to become a better athlete every single day. I was exposed to a high level of competition and it has played a big role in improving my spirit of motivation. This camp helped shape and mould me into an all-round athlete as I continue to focus on honing these skills.

My goal is to be the best basketball player I can be, and to be the best human being I can be. I know that achieving these goals aren’t easy, so I dedicate myself to honing my basketball skills, and giving back to society. I dream to play college basketball at the highest level possible that I can. While receiving an excellent education, I want to play on a team where I can have the most impact and can contribute positively. 

I did not receive any college offers, so I decided to enroll at Loyola University Chicago with hopes of a walk-on spot.
