My goal as an athlete, is to be a persistent growing player. That can bring positive energy and spirit on and off the court. A player that is able to put in the work and, have their hard work show in their game is a player I strive to be. As a student Athlete I am constantly pushing myself to strive for greatness. In sports, academics, home and social life. Being part of a team for me is way more than just showing up to practice. It is about being a good teammate and building bonds with team members and coaches that show on and off the court. I started playing basketball in 8th grade, but basketball has been around me my whole life. My mom would always take me to watch her games and thats where I truly fell involve with the sport. Since 8th grade I've been addicted to the game of basketball and the environment. I don't think it would be possible for me to go a week without playing. Playing college basketball for me is something I would love to do and challenge myself with. I know that I can bring a different element to the team and the game.
