Jamie Waldron '20 Recruiting Profile

For as long as I can remember, my dream has been to play basketball in college.  I feel like I was learning to dribble a basketball as early as I was learning to walk.  

While I love playing many sports including volleyball and soccer, I just feel like I am in my most competitive element when I am on a basketball court.  I simply love the game.  I play basketball year round.  When I am not practicing with the school team or my travel team, I am outside on our basketball court, or at the local gym where I get one on one training with some post coaches.  It is my desire to practice all that I can, to be the best that I can be.  I do not ever want to feel bad about a game when I know that I have given it my all.  And, if I feel that I did something wrong, after the game I am determined to fix the error so that it does not happen again.

I feel that I am a team player, always supporting everyone on my team, on and off the court.  I am someone that has to work hard at everything that I do, but that makes the reward so much better.  I feel pride when I have a good game that I know I practiced for.  I am proud of myself when I get a good grade that I know I studied so hard for.  I am proud of myself when I can help someone else achieve their goals or simply feel better about themselves.

I was pretty sick in my freshman year, and struggled through  my sophomore year.  I was proud of myself for receiving MVP of the varsity team in my sophomore year.  I like to work hard.  I like to strive to be the best I can be.  I take a lot of pride in my leadership abilities both verbally and by example.  Playing on a competitive team in college is my dream, and I know that I can be an asset to any team that I am fortunate enough to play with.
