Personal Statement
Hi Coach,
Lachlan Taylor is my name, I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old and have had the passion and drive to be successful both on and off the court for as long as I can remember. While my first instinct is to create scoring opportunities for my teammates through passing, I am a versatile guard and excel on the pick and roll both when finding a shot for myself and for setting up my teammates.
I believe i could factor in your schools success, both on and off the court I strive to and am confident in my ability to make those around me better and bring the best out in my teammates on both ends of the court, as I spark the offence and the defense. I have strong ball handling skills, a high basketball IQ and court vision and I am a natural leader. What separates me from other recruits is my abilities to effectively defend every position, pass with accuracy and position myself to gain rebounds despite the fact that I am undersized.
I have always been overlooked when it comes to my athletic abilities, i seek be the greatest i can be and I would love to attend a college where I am given the opportunities to push myself both in the classroom environment and on the basketball court. I am open to all options and strive to compete at the highest level possible to further develop my abilities.
I appreciate any form of feedback, feel free to email me at lachlanjames1211@gmail.com to further discuss a potential opportunity or any additional information!
Yours Sincerely,
Lachlan Taylor
