Personal Statement
I have had aspirations of playing basketball on a collegiate level since I first started playing during my elementary years. I was told at a young age by a coach that I have the potential to take basketball as far I want as long as I stay positive and keep working hard in every aspect of my life. I am a great candidate for your college because I have learned how to motivate myself to achieve as an athlete, student and an individual, which has resulted in tremendous academic and physical growth. I am committed to giving 100% effort to ensure the success of a basketball program. I feel that my focus, my solid leadership skills, work ethic, and my positive character are the key to success in any situation and would be a valuable addition to your program. I am hopeful that you will you will consider me as an ideal candidate for the opportunity to represent your program's values and standards both on and off of the court.
