- 2022 Spotlight #2
Personal Statement
My name is Gaja and I'm 17 years old PG from Slovenia. Last season I was the highest score averaging player (22.2 PPG) in the u17 Slovene National League (Stat: Slovene Basketball Association). My team also attended the WABA League where I averaged 15.5 PPG (Stat: FIBA LiveStats).
I have extensive court vision and I'm great at passing the ball and creating scoring opportunities for both my teammates and myself. Bringing positive energy to the team, motivating others and being a great communicator have always been my strengths.
I'm starting my 3rd year at Poljane High School in Ljubljana, Slovenia with a current GPA 3.8, where I'll graduate in 2024. As a non US student I plan to take the SAT in 2023.
After attending 3 PGC camps and the Elite camp at Columbia University this summer, I know I want to continue my academic and sport career in the US where I could fulfill my academic aspirations and play basketball on a high level at the same time.
I´ve been playing basketball since I was 7, for the first two years with boys. At that time I was also doing gymnastics and acrobatics which helped me with my athleticism and strength.
I'm committed, hard working and driven to improve. I love spending time on the court, working on my game. I'm good at listening and I always like to get feedback with which I can improve myself.
