Personal Statement
My dream is to Play collegiate basketball for four years. In order to get there its going to be a lot of hard work but I have committed myself to work on basketball until I reach that dream. Basketball to me is not just something you play, its an accomplishment in life. When I play, I do not do it just because it is a sport, I do it because when I am out on the court I express who I am and who I want to be. I feel like the Court is my home and without it I am nothing.
It's my honor to have you in my journey of a rewarding and fulfilling basketball career!
Colorado Shine, my travelling club team has taken a spark I have for basketball and turned it into a huge flame! I'm not merely a position on a basketball team, but I am committed to a way of life and the position of leadership into a team game.
I'm looking to gain a competitive edge at a higher level on my competition: I have learned ideas about preparation, recovery, hydration, nutrition and discipline. Through all the principles taught to me through PGC-Point Guard College, I can play smart, strong basketball. I have learned critical offensive and defensive skills. A faster step, a jump higher, instinctively respond on defense with cat like quickness, to be more explosive at the rim, beat my gal off the dribble, get a rebound, or shoot a jump shot. To play intelligently and to lead effectively. I continue to learn everyday that encouragement, leadership, and communication can positively affect my team. Basketball challenges me in every way: setbacks, losing, injuries, being benched, unfair treatment: I have learned to bounce back from disappointment and thrive in the midst of adversity. I am dedicated on and off the courts.
Please continue to keep your eyes on me as I continue to learn and grow and become stronger in my game. I bring to you great skills, dedication, mixed in with a little humor from time to time and I am a great encourager and leader. It would be a great honor for me to be on your team!
Thank you,
