Colin Brand Senio...Personal Statement
My name is Colin Brand and I am looking to play basketball at the collegiate level. I currently am a 6'2 shooting guard at Tahanto Regional High School and am in the class of 2024. I have played basketball since the 3rd grade and it originally started out as a filler sport, along with football and lacrosse. As I started getting older I started to reach a higher level in basketball, leading me to play year round for my high school team in the winter and summer, and an AAU club, Worcester Basketball Club, in the spring and fall. I am a high level three-point shooter and make the right plays to help my team succeed, not just for me to succeed. I can handle pressure with the ball and am not afraid to make contact when finishing. I love playing basketball, and having an opportunity to play at a higher level would be amazing, but ultimately my basketball days will come to and end which is why being a student is the first and most important part of being a student athlete. I have a 4.0 GPA and a 1300 SAT score, and currently work 2 jobs, while still practicing basketball on my own time so I can be ready for the next level.
