Personal Statement
My name is Thomas Dillard IV and I am a 6'4" guard/forward at Kalamazoo Central High School. My dream and main goal in life is to play the game of basketball at the Division 1 level and acquire my Bachelors Degree in Accounting and attain my CPA license. My biggest strengths to my game is playing great defense on and off the ball, getting to the basket and finishing through contact, and giving a consistent effort in getting rebounds. In addition, I am an improved shooter that can knock down shots at a high percentage and I have good playmaking ability. What separates me from others is that I am a leader on the floor and I am not afraid to be loud and talk constantly to my teammates on the court. I am also very coachable and can take criticism and feedback and I'm always looking to improve my game. In addition to working hard on the court, I also work even harder in the classroom, with a bigger emphasis on doing great in school. Off the court, I have a very likable personality and have a great sense of humor, but on the court, I am very competitive and am willing to do whatever it takes to win. Not just in basketball, but in life in general, I want to be a winner, and with me on your team, you have a higher chance of winning as well.
