Cooper Mixon '18 Recruiting Profile

I think it was expected that I would play basketball because my Dad, Uncle and Grandfather all played basketball in college. My Dad encouraged me to start playing basketball and put me in a league when I was 4 years old. 

My goal in college is to obtain a degree in business and to be part of a successful basketball program. I would be a great addition to any team because I am determined. I am always working to improve in any way possible. Basketball has taught me to work hard on and off the court. 

I have a high basketball IQ and great court awareness. I am an unselfish player who looks for the best opportunity for the team. I love playing with my teammates at Seaholm and on my AAU team (Moneyball East). I attempt to make myself better by making others around me better. I am confident in my abilities, but I know there is always room to improve. 

Grades are very important to me. I am a member of the National Honor Society, have a 3.72 GPA and when I am not playing basketball or at the gym working out I am usually studying. I have high personal expectations and I will work hard on and off the court to ensure success for my team and myself.
