Alana Pinder '18 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my  name is Alana Pinder. I started playing basketball in the fifth grade while growing up in the Bahamas. My transition to South Florida from the Caribbean has been a unique one in that the competition has been challenging and very competitive. One of my goals as a basketball player is to compete and to see how well I measure up against the best competition so that I can work to be the best payer that I can be. Currently, I am a 5'6" combo Guard and a rising senior at Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami, Florida. My goal is to play Division 1 college basketball and I am working hard at developing my game to meet that goal. I am also doing some extra work with a private trainer to further develop my skills for years to come. My strengths are my speed/quickness, my Basketball IQ, willingness to work hard, athleticism and spirit of camaraderie. Playing basketball has taught me many valuable lessons in teamwork, hard work, discipline and commitment that I know will help me in life as well.
