Mauricio Olivares '19 Recruiting Profile

My goals after high school are to continue to play basketball because to me it started just like a hobby at age 8 but I started to get bigger and I noticed it was more than just a hobby it was something for me to feel happy and know I was good at something in the morning basketball for me is bigger than a hobby its something that can help me forget about bad things in life. I have improved my shooting and ball handles but more importantly I can set up my team mates well. I know it's hard to succeed in basketball but I won't give up. My second option is to be a lawyer but my first is to succeed in basketball . I like to set up my teammates because it makes me feel good instead of shooting the ball more which I do too but I like to assist more. I learned though basketball in order to succeed you have to put in the work in to be able to succeed and I found that out when I started for my basketball team as starting shooting guard which was a great achievement for me.
