Personal Statement
I want to continue playing basketball in college. This is something that I have worked for my entire life. I recently moved from Phoenix, AZ to Houston, TX and moved in with my former club coach and mentor. Although I miss my immediate family, I decided to make this move to become a well rounded young. I moved to Houston, TX in August 2018. Since I've been in Houston I've made some tremendous progress. I got baptized in church, maintain a 3.6 GPA, got a professional trainer, and played in 2 high school showcases. I was named most outstanding player at the Area Codes top 20 showcase. This is what makes me different than other players. I moved 1500 miles away from my family so better my life and chances to become a better player and better man.
I am an excellent teammate on and off the court. One of my biggest attributes is consistency. I never miss practice and I'm always willing to work harder than anyone on my team. I have improved my game so much and I still have so much growth to do. I've played varsity basketball all four years of high school.
I aspire to become a D1 athlete. I understand there are different ways to get there. I just want an opportunity. I will not disappoint.
Thank you for reading this.
