Personal Statement
I have been playing organized, highly competitive basketball since the 4th grade in both town travel teams and AAU. My goal has always been to have the opportunity to play at the college level.
I work hard both on the court (I'm very coachable and have a high hoops IQ) and in the classroom (as you can see from my GPA.)
I don't quit when faced with adversity. Unfortunately, I incurred a leg injury in August of 2020 and was unable to play during the 2020/21 school season. I have been fully committed to return to the court even stronger than what I was before the injury. I will not let a broken leg stop me from achieving my goals. Due to my strong work ethic, my rehabilitation has been very successful, and I am continuing to work hard every day either with PT, my weight trainer, basketball coaches or on my own. I am playing AAU this Spring and Summer.
I want to attend a college that's a great fit for both me and the school at the highest level of competition possible.
