Personal Statement
My number one goal right now is transferring to a new program for the 2015-2016 season. I have two years of experience at a good college level, as well as playing at the highest level in Australia for over ten years. I just finished playing in the USCAA D2 and was successful at this level. I lead my team in scoring and steals, this past season. Being from Australia, I know what hard work, commitment, and sacrifice takes. If it wasn't for those things, I wouldn't be here. I am a strong, natural leader, on and off the court. I believe in more than just having good teammates, but making good relationships with them, which I believe is a huge key to success. I had a successful senior year of high school in NC. Coming from another country and experiencing so many obstacles, I stuck to what I am good at, and that is focusing on basketball. Before injuring my ankle, I was ranked #9 in the nation for scoring with 34ppg, up there amongst names like the Harrison brothers. After returning from this injury, I averaged 25ppg and finished 2nd in NC for scoring. During my first year of college, I started off as the leading scorer, and broke some freshman records. During my previous season, I was struck with the flu, but bounced back and averaged 19.5ppg for the remainder of the season, while then going off to win a national tournament and being awarded the MVP. So I know what hard work is, and I know how to get back on my feet. All I ask for now, is an opportunity to take my commitment, and hard work, to a new level.
