Personal Statement
Basketball has been a passion of mine since I was about 6 years old when I was the only girl on my first team. Over the years I have developed a love for the sport. I have played school basketball for 11 years and played on AAU teams for 8 years. I have also played volleyball 1st through 7th grade, varsity high school softball in 8th grade and tried track for a short time, but my heart and passion always pulls me back to basketball.
I just completed my junior year season and scored a total of 513 points this season with a single-game high of 32 points. I was also honored with Player of the Week three times and named to the All-District Team at the end of the season. At the height of 5'8", I am a strong player in not only the guard and shooting guard positions but also the post and forward positions. While I know offense is key, I also enjoy playing defense and stealing and blocking shots. I am a versatile player and fill stats across the board in every game. I continue to work on a jump workout to increase my vertical jump.
My skills and ability on the court are not the only thing that makes me a good player. My work ethic and dedication to the game helps me to be a good teammate and student of the game. I strive to always make myself better as well as my teammates and not settle for average or good enough, and eventually reach my goal of playing at the college level.
