Jacob Walden '17 Recruiting Profile

Basketball is a very important aspect of my life and has been since a very young age. I began playing Junior Pro at age three, I continued from Elementary School, all through Middle School, and this year, I just finished my third year of High School Basketball. I currently play with the Tennessee Travelers, a Club Team which is based out of Knoxville, TN. This team travels from state to state. The season of play is from March to August which will take me through until I begin my Senior year of High School Basketball. The reason for my joining this team, which will consume my summer, is to continue to improve my game and to play with other athletes of similar goals. My desire to continue to improve my game of basketball has increased over the past few years. On and off the court, I try to exemplify a young athlete who strives for improvement. I continue to train in the gym on my own. I refrain from any conduct that would hinder me both academically and athletically. Not only have I aspired to play college basketball, my ultimate goal is to become an Anesthesiologist. The goals that I am eagerly desirous of are attainable through hard work and dedication.
