Personal Statement
I have loved playing and watching basketball for as long as I can remember. Since I first stepped on the court, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. The competition at practice and in games drives me to do well. I know that playing in college is an opportunity that will positively impact my future both on and off the court.
I have strong ball handling skills, excellent court vision and a very good outside shot. As a point guard, I like to lead the team by example and encourage and guide my teammates to do well. I have a high basketball IQ which I attribute to strong coaches that I have had as well as a passion for watching the game as much as possible. In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I have a particular interest in Math, Science and Business. Outside of the classroom, I have volunteered for food drives, participated in walks which raised money for several charities and I also help train local youth in basketball.
I want to attend a college that will challenge me academically and athletically. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match both academically and athletically so I can compete at the highest level possible.
