Jackson Coles '21 Recruiting Profile

Playing sports at the collegiate level has always been a dream of mine. I always played basketball but it did not become my main sport until age 13 when I had to make a choice between it and hockey.  Since then, I have been putting in a lot of hard work to turn that crazy childhood dream into an actual possibility. I follow a variety of coaches and trainers on social media and work on their drills until those skills become natural. I attend high level training camps and work hard on solidifying newly learned skills as part of my game.  I believe I would be a valuable addition to a collegiate program due to my compete level, leadership skills and my focus on being the best teammate possible. I focus on doing what is best for the team even if that means sacrificing myself. I believe in working my hardest at all times and that effort and attitude are key attributes to a successful student athlete.  Another reason I think I can play at the collegiate level is my love of improvement. I really appreciate all feedback and consistently work towards improving my skills. Whenever I get into a gym, I will stay there, working on my skills, until my parents or coaches send me home.
