Zack McConnell '26 Recruiting Profile

I just turned 15 and my goals are to join the Jr. Varsity basketball team at my school, Valor College Prep. I have started private coaching lessons with Jonathan Barfield at Bernard Academy in Nashville. 

By the time I graduate, I should have a black-belt in Krav Maga martial arts.

I go to the gym every day before school with my mother. I work out about an hour every day. I lift 155 bench press, 275  squats, and 365 dead lift. 

 I would be a good candidate for the basketball team because I have loved basketball since first grade and visit basketball courts in my spare time often, almost every other day. I am already 6'3" tall as a freshmen and expect to be around 6'6"-6'7" by the time I finish growing. 

My mother raised me in church and I go to church camp and do missionary work for the poor. Valor college prep is focused and teaches character building and morals. We do group circles every single Monday where we start by doing "True North" to help us focus. Then, we talk about our feelings and do badge work. I make good grades and am determined to succeed.
