Baron Heslip '25 Recruiting Profile

My work ethic is what sets me apart from others.  I will do what others won't to be successful. I'm driven to improve myself and others around me. I believe hard work does pay off. My desire to excel will be contagious and lead others to join me in an effort to improve team chemistry. I believe in being coachable. Coaches have been where I want to go. Their experiences will help me grow as a player and as a human being. I look forward to meeting my college coach and tapping into his knowledge and experiences. 

I sleep and dream about basketball. My desire to play college basketball is a top priority. I train daily to get better than yesterday. A college program that gives me a chance to play will be rewarded by my grit and determination to help their program succeed. I'm a total team player and will give my best effort to help my future program succeed. 

I take my schoolwork seriously. As a student athlete I have learned how to balance schoolwork, athletics and daily obstacles they come along with the day. I look at setbacks as a way to grow even faster with my development as a productive adult. If you're not failing from time to time, you're not growing. Adversity is the greatest teacher I have ever known. 

My faith keeps me grounded. I believe having a strong faith is my superpower to withstand all storms that come my way. Be strong and courageous. 

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my Personal Statement.
