As a senior with the most varsity experience on my team, I plan to lead my team as far as possible this coming season. The past three years of my high school career have been great. I have started varsity every year since I was a freshman. This has given me a lot of time on the floor, and the experience that it takes to not only excel on the court, but to lead my team to accomplish great things. I led my team in rebounds by a great margin this past year, finishing the season with 205 rebounds in 20 games. Through the season, I shot exactly at 50%, with 103 out of 206 field goals made, and shot 70% from the free throw line at 48 out of 69. The KHSAA stat leaders require a 22 game minimum to be listed as a top 50 player. As a team, we played 22 games, but I was ruled out due to a concussion for two of those games. I would be listed as around number 20 in the state in rebounding if I played 22 games. During my senior season, I plan to reach top 50 in the state not only rebounding, but also for scoring. I love to compete at the highest level possible, and to do that I have to push myself to get better every day. I work out six days of the week, working on my strength, endurance, vertical, shooting, ball handling, and foot speed. I will bring intensity to the game no matter the competition, and play to my full potential. Aside from playing basketball, my academics are also thriving as I have taken advanced placement classes and honors, and I also plan on taking college classes this year and have a 4.03 weighted Grade Point Average. This is my second summer working on my own. Before last summer, I worked for someone else's mowing company. I purchased different kinds of equipment so I can mow and weed-eat yards, cemeteries, etc., myself for people which is hard, yet very rewarding with jobs lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to six hours. My work ethic has gotten me a long way so far, and I know that it is what will make me successful on and off the court.
