Patrick Werner '18 Recruiting Profile

Playing organized basketball during the past nine years has helped me learn about myself; required me to develop mentally and physically to perform at a higher level in life and most importantly, be a better person.  The attributes that come to mind are commitment, courage, confidence and excellence.  While I've never been the biggest, the fastest, or the strongest player on the court, I worked extremely hard and developed a strong work ethic to become a starter for high school varsity team; a member of my former AAU Under Armor team; my current AAU ADIDAS Uprising Gauntlet team and aspire to play at the collegiate level.  My basketball IQ, court vision and defense have advanced while I continue to improve my shooting and on-court leadership  

Receiving the varsity basketball Coaches Award my sophomore year, then being selected to play on my 16U AAU Under Armor and 17U AAU ADIDAS teams--playing in regional and national tournaments--is the highlight of my high school career, thus far.  I strive everyday to practice and compete with energy, emotion and enthusiasm.

My academic goals for high school are to graduate with a 3.5/4.0 GPA or higher; achieve a composite 28 ACT score or higher and continue taking honors and AP courses.  My academic goals for college are to gain admission into a good university and study sports management/business administration.

I am looking for a university and a basketball program that will be a good fit for me academically. and athletically.  As a leader and role model in my high school, and community, I feel I have the character, work-ethic and evolving, potential game to make a positive impact to your program; be a leader on your team and represent your university favorably.
