Mattea Henry '24 Recruiting Profile

Basketball means so much more to me than just a simple game. It has become a way of life for me, teaching me how to face adversity head-on, come back stronger, and be more resilient. In the face of significant challenges, I could have easily given up, but I chose to push through and become more determined than ever before.

Being a small forward, standing at 6'0, I have developed a unique set of skills, including strong ball handling and a versatile inside and outside game. I can defend positions 1-5, excel in transition offense, and have keen court vision with the ability to create offense for my team. With a high basketball IQ, I am confident in my abilities and know that I have what it takes to play at the collegiate level.

As someone who is passionate about basketball, I am committed to putting in the work required to excel in the sport. Throughout the year, I stay focused on my training and am always striving to improve my skills, whether I am playing for my high school team or competing in AAU tournaments. In addition to regular practice, I also prioritize my physical fitness by engaging in ETS to build strength and endurance

Achieving this goal would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could truly transform my life. I understand the rarity of this chance and am I willing to do whatever it takes to make my dream a reality. I am excited to see what the future holds and am grateful for the lessons basketball has taught me along the way.
