My love for basketball started when I was very young and I have been training to get better ever since. When I tried out for the 7th grade team I was not chosen. I worked hard and trained everyday. I took the coaches criticism and tried again the following year. My hard work paid off because I made the 8th grade team. I believe constructive criticism is always a great motivator to improve your game. I try to relate that attitude to everything I accomplish off and on the court.
