Personal Statement

Hello Coaches,

My goal is to play college basketball, while getting my Bachelor Degree in Business and then a dual MBA and Law Degree.

I am a multi-sport athlete, but basketball is my true passion. I am a high energy player, exceptional rebounder and a game changer on the court with my compete and hustle. I bring 'it' on every possession on both sides of the ball, am a physical player, who loves the battles in the paint, scoring the ball and has a high basketball IQ. Always striving to be the hardest working player during practices, lead by example and never get outworked during games. I am a team leader with my work ethic, high energy, communication skills and positive encouragement of teammates and respect of coaches, officials and other players.

Competition fuels me and I played high performance soccer, ski raced competitively and played field hockey and volleyball.

Principal's List, Top of my Class, Honor roll student and my favorite courses are Math, English, Science and Socials.

Thank you for reading my profile, Kaija
