Personal Statement
I want to play college basketball because I love the game and work extremely hard to be successful. I play hundreds of hours every summer, lift weights, and do speed and agility workouts almost every day. All the time and dedication I have put in has made me grow as a player and person by making me realize that I have to work as hard as I can, all the time, to accomplish my goals. I have been the starting point guard for my team that has had success every single year we have played by winning lots of tournaments and I have played up many times in my career. I am a good candidate for your team because I will always work as hard as I can to get better and will contribute in any way possible. I will contribute to winning basketball by making shots, scoring, making smart passes, defending, and being a good teammate by being a good leader. I have always been the leader of my team and I do that by regularly organizing the team together to play and by sharing my knowledge and helping the team. I bring my same work ethic to my teammates by encouraging them to work just as hard as me. I take tons of pride on the court, but I also take pride in the classroom by having a 4.0 GPA and helping friends and teammates that are struggling in different areas. I want to be a contributor on a collegiate team one day in any way that I can.
