John Michael Martin '24 Recruiting Profile

I envision my college years to be a personal growth period. My goal is to explore a science major that will position me well for the Marine Biology Field or Sports Management. On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and positive influence on the team. As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my college basketball career, I will strive to be an asset in the weight room, practice, classroom, and on the court. Most importantly, I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the Court, knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.

I have been playing basketball since I was 8 years old. Since I first stepped on the court, I have been determined to play at the collegiate level. I have strong ball handling skills, defensive effort, mental toughness, and a high basketball IQ. I am a team leader and lead by example in the classroom, practice, and on the court. I am very coachable and encourage my teammates as well as lead practice daily. I strive to be one of the hardest working recruits you will find. I am on the court at 6am every morning working on game reps and conditioning prior to school. 

I am a multi-sport athlete playing Mens Volleyball, Cross Country, and Soccer. I also perform multiple community service events such as at the veteran's cemetery, the local nursing home, and church activities. I want to attend a college where I can push myself academically and on the basketball court. I am open to all potential opportunities to find the right college fit and compete with the highest level of competition possible. My goal is to be a great role model to my peers, my community, and give God the glory along with making my mom and dad proud.
