Personal Statement
I started to play basketball in 7th grade when my brother made the varsity team as a freshman. Making the team as a freshman became my goal which I then achieved. Playing basketball I have learned to gain trust in my teammates since this is a sport that can’t be played 1 on 5. As well as trust, communication plays a big role.
The team’s 18-19 season had ups and downs. We beat all of the teams that played the ACCAS tournament. We got over confident and lost in the finals. This is the most important tournament for us in the season and we couldn’t get through as we placed 2nd. Placing 2nd helped the team grow. We reflected as a team to make spaces for improvements. We all thought that losing this tournament was our biggest downfall, but it wasn't. It made us grow stronger.
As a basketball athlete, I’m searching for a program that is well suited to me academically and athletically. I personally believe that I have the skills and character to play at the college level. Having this said, I will assure you that I will have a positive impact on your team.
