Personal Statement
Professional basketball has always been a dream of mine. The competition, the bright lights, the atomosphere of those games is something that I’ve loved since a young age. I love the sport of basketball, my passion for the sport drives me to make myself the best player I can be. I’m a strong believer that there is no limit to the amount of work you can put in. At any level of basketball, there is always something more you can strengthen or improve on no matter what position you’re in. I plan to carry this hardworking mentality to any team I play for at the collegiate level to not only improve myself, but the team as a whole. I have been given the title of team captain for both my AAU Team, Weatherproof Elite, and my high school team for the leadership skills and hard working motor I possess. I am a very good communicator, both on and off the court, and I have built close relationships with the teammates that I’ve had. I believe that my work ethic and knowledge for the game motivates those around me to become better versions of themselves by following the example I set. However, my main area of focus has not only been the court throughout my high school years. I have been a determined and hard working student as well, earning a 3.5 GPA and a 1200 SAT score in my senior year. As a leader, player, and person I have a lot to bring to the table as an athlete at the collegiate level.
