Personal Statement

I have been playing basketball since I was in first grade. Ever since I first stepped onto the court, I've been in love with the game. It would absolutely be a dream come true to play at the collegiate level. Playing the sport I love in college would be an opportunity that could change my life.

I have strong ball handling skills, soft hands, my passes always go to the target, and I have a high basketball IQ. I always encourage my teammates and try to be a leader on the team. I am very coachable, and I strive to be one of the hardest working players and recruits you'll find.

My favorite high school game is "Shooting with the Stars",  each year our High School partners with Joe Brighton an alternative special education school.  I have been working with Britney Taylor for the last two years, we have grown as friends beyond this one day event.  We share Snap Chats and Instagram messages, I hope I can help make a difference in her life.

I am a Four Sport Varsity Athlete but I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the court. I would like to study business in college, and someday own my own business.

I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I wish to make my parents proud and most importantly become a good role model for young athletes.

Club Information

  • Seasons of Club Experience
  • 2 seasons
  • 2018 First String Academy (Elite Travel Team)
  • First String Academy is more than a typical AAU/Travel Club. We practice 5 days a week instead of 2 or less like most clubs. I have learned ball handling skills like a point guard. My high school coach told the newspaper I was the best player in the region with my back to the basket. First String Academy provides me the opportunity to expand my game. I've shot mid range jumpers and I've got a great shot from the three point line. I can make solid post moves like I do in High School but now I can demonstrate my versatility and range thanks to travel basketball with First String Academy. I was honored to be named to the event all star team for our pool in the USJN mid America challenge on May 19-20.

Training

  • 1 year
  • JAMEY PETREE has been training basketball players of all ages and skill levels in Southeast Michigan for over 12 years. Due to his proven professional training style he has built an impressive resume of clients from top high school players to an NBA lottery pick. Many of these players started with Jamey at an early age and have continued to train throughout high school, college and into the pros. His success lies in his theory that although there is a standard shooting form, every player has their own way of learning. Jamey’s reputation has been built on developing training plans that fit each individual player so that optimal improvement and development is realized. Jamey played basketball at Utica High School and Iowa Central College. He coached at Concordia University from 2008 -2013. Jamey coached at Madonna University from 2014 – present.
