For me, basketball has been everything. In these last few years, I have spent more hours then I could imagine continuing to work on my skills, and body, no matter if its cold or if I'm tired/sore. I love the feeling of putting in hard work and hours into something, because it shows me what I'm capable of. To put it simply, I don't want to lose to anyone and have the drive and grit to propell me to any level. Through this, I have been able to become a tall, fantastic shooter with great defense, that makes me be able to fit or add something to any team that I join. Overall, I know that I can continue to grow and expand in order to continue my progression in an needed field. Along with dedication to the sport, I am also very high on my academics. I believe straight A pluses are the minimum for me and that education is extremely valuable. Having knowlegde has also greatly transitioned into the sport for me as well. Through researching, I have learned how to grow, condition, and take care of my body as a whole through weightlifting and plyometrics, and how to move and function on the court. I know that as I begin to enter highschool, I will not just continue to focus on what I already am, but continue to grow and get better in all fassions of the sport and life as well.
