Personal Statement
Coach,
I realize that it's taken me a moment to get serious. But I do understand the importance of education and plan to take advantage of every opportunity to improve my academic standing. I may have gotten a slow start, but I will finish strong. My mother has worked hard to make provisions for my education, and I will complete a college degree program that will prepare me for a successful future.
I am an excellant candidate for your team. I've been playing team sports since I was four. I have a team mentality and I understand what it means to be a team player.
What makes me different from other recruits is that I can get my team involved first before I start going. I know how to motivate, participate, and hold the team momentum. I want the the complete package, quality education and the college basketball experience.
