I have been mentored/coached by my grandfather, Ron Niekamp, since 2nd grade. He won the 2009 Division 2 National Championship as a head coach. We have discussed and he has taught me what it will take to succeed as a college basketball player.
I am a good 3-point shooter and have very good footwork/post skills. My goal for this AAU season and Senior year is to improve on driving to the basket. This will make me a more complete basketball player.
As a college athlete, I will prioritize academics and basketball as my #1 priorities. I am an excellent student and understand that college is for education.
Positive Attributes:
Hard working
Basketball IQ
Unselfish with the ball.
My best games have been against the toughest competition.
Footwork
Negatives:
I'm not a freak athlete, but I want to improve my jumping ability and first-step quickness.
