Alaya Henderson '20 Recruiting Profile

I played basketball all the way from the age of 3, all the way up to 17. I take this sport very serious and to the heart. I love it so much that I put all of my effort in just to maintain being a 4 year varsity starting PG at Lutheran East High School. Choosing me as a recruit would be the best candidate because I bring a lot of positive energy to the team, I am a team first player. I never worried about how much I scored. I love designating the floor and getting my teammates the ball. It brings joy and happiness to my life just to see them doing well. I will compete and give it all I got until I can’t give go anymore. This is my passion and my future and I want to be apart of someone’s program just to be a great fit for someone’s team and show them how serious I am about the love I have for the game of basketball. Athletically , I am always in a gym 24/7 , even on Sundays ( which is my off day ) but I try to develop and work on my game as much as possible. Character wise , I am a goofy person but I know when there is a time for fun and when there is a time for business. Academically , I started off with a challenge but once I notice that I start slacking I make sure that I work 20 times harder just to get back in focus and be the best I know I can be.
