Personal Statement
The competition I find through basketball has developed my work ethic and drive. I was introduced to basketball in third grade, and since then I have been driven to become the best I can be. Basketball has allowed me to be extremely competitive, work hard, and enjoy the game. As a player I worked to make varsity as a freshman, to become a starter as a sophomore, and earned Most Improved as I continued to put in the work mornings and nights. It has been my honor to lead my team as Captain my junior year on and off the court. As a player I have a lengthy build and contribute as much on the defensive end as I do the offensive end. I enjoy the challenge of guarding the other team’s best player. As a student athlete I am driven to maintain my high GPA standards. A college that fits my academic pursuits and desire to compete is a high priority.
