Personal Statement
I am a 5'10" power forward/center from Bloomington, IL. In junior high, I had difficult experience playing on my school team and decided to take a mental health break from basketball. I struggled with self-confidence as an individual and as a basketball player. However, during the couple years I spent away from basketball, I found a renewed passion for the game and confidence in my self and my abilities. I am excited to spend my last two years of high school dedicating myself to growing in many areas, but especially in my basketball training. I aspire to find a collegiate basketball program where I can share my athletic gifts, learn from excellent coaches and teammates, and hone my craft even more. My biggest strengths in basketball are both offensive and defensive. On defense, I can lock down any player and keep them from scoring. Offensively, I am strong in the paint and once the ball is fed to me, there isn't much that can stop me from scoring. I also have a solid 15 footer. I love basketball more than anything and I soon hope to live out my dream of playing college basketball!
