Matthew Paa Kwesi Williams '19 Recruiting Profile

Being a United Nations Award Winner I aim to achieve excellence in any field that I am interested in either sports or academics. My  ability to be a leader, who is disciplined and can take important decisions gives me the ability to communicate with my teammates easily, also due to the lack of a high number of students in my school it has made to take up the challenge to learn different sports so that we are not left disadvantaged in any inter-schools competition.Currently I am a member of three sports teams in my school which are: Track and Field Team, Soccer Team and Basketball team.

I am a long distance runner who has run a competitive 1500 meters 3 years in row, as well as the 800 meters and 400 meters. This has given me the ability to be more athletic on the court, being able to lose my defender easily to get open, as well as playing huge minutes and barely breaking a sweat. My great athletic and shooting ability on the court makes me a threat to any opponent no matter their size. I aim to play in a college team, so I can impact and bring more development to the team. My aspiration is to combine my studies, which will be in Economics (BA)

with my love for the game of basketball, because after all the world is no longer looking for people who can only do sports or academics but have  found a  good way to balance their life, with is what I have to offer to the coaches at the college level.
