Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Jayshen Saigal. I am currently a freshman at Scarsdale High School. I recently completed my High School basketball season where I started the year on JV and was moved up to Varsity for the playoffs. I was the first freshman to be included in the Varsity basketball roster in 4 years. My Varsity team qualified for the New York State Class AA Section 1 playoffs where we advanced to the championship game and finished as the Section 1 runner-up. I recorded my first Varsity points in the Section 1 Class AA semifinals against Yorktown High School.
My athletic goals in High School are to compete for a starting spot next year as a sophomore. I want to put on lean muscle and get stronger before next year's season. Ultimately I want to lead my team to a Class AA Section 1 championship. In terms of academics, I would like to maintain a high GPA and work hard on improving in all my subjects.
My collegiate goal is to become a college basketball player at the Division 1 level. I understand the work necessary to achieve my goal and I am dedicating myself on the court and in the weight room.
I am lucky to have a supportive family and a strong network of people who are rooting for me to achieve my goals.
