James Pellegrine '25 Recruiting Profile

I have always wanted to play basketball since I was in the 7th grade, when I played for my school, and I have been hooked on basketball ever since. Although I have tried many different activities over the years my passion has always come back to basketball.                                            Not only has basketball brought fun into my life, it has helped me grow into the adult I’m becoming today.                                                   I have learned as a high school athlete has been how to overcome adversity and to be resilient after failure.  As with any sport, particularly basketball, many valuable character traits and qualities are obtained such as : and incredible work ethic, a competitive nature and the ability to be an effective leader to others.                        I feel highly qualified for a good College University, for several reasons, I’m a good student that exceeds in school, mirror characteristics of a good basketball player, and requires discipline, dedication, and ability to be teachable/coachable.                                          Also, basketball has shaped me into a well-rounded player, many hours of practices, and  studying has allowed me to be a better person too.  In the mean time I would like to have your feedback, and thank you for your time, and can’t wait to hear back from you soon. 

Sincerely,
