Saksham Chawla '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was eight years old. I have always had an enormous love for the game and have aspired to play basketball at the collegiate level ever since I touched a ball. I understand that playing at the collegiate level is a once in a life time opportunity and can change my entire life. I have vigorously been trying to pursue this dream in any way possible as this has been one of my life-long aspirations. I have been working as hard as can on the court and have always been trying to improve my skills. As a basketball player, not only have I worked on my athletic ability and my strength on the court but I have been working on my intangibles as well. I am easily coachable and make sure to always improve as a team leader. I am also extremely competitive and will work very hard to achieve my goal. Not only have I been putting in the work on the court, but I have been studying hard and placing a great focus on my life off the court. I have maintained an average GPA of 4.2 and I have participated in a myriad of outreach and service programs such as tutoring sessions for younger children. I want to attend a college where I can push myself to the greatest extent on the court and off the court. I take everything I do, seriously and am completely open to any school that fits my personality and guarantees the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model and guarantee 100% dedication to my efforts on and off the court.
