Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Grace Lyon and I play center position as a Senior at Fairless High School. My basketball career started in 7th grade. Because of my height and athleticism, the coach asked if I would like to try out for the team. That first season turned the sport of basketball into one of the biggest passions of my life. As I enter my final year of high school I am thinking seriously about my future. I cannot imagine basketball not being a part of my college experience and maybe even beyond. I continuously work hard to maximize my skill development. Outside of the normal season, most of my summer and off season are dedicated to the sport. Fairless falls in division 3 however during off season you will find me traveling with my AAU family and playing at a national level. Focus, hard work, and determination motivate me to be the best teammate and player I can possibly be. I have the heart of an athlete and it is my dream to play college basketball. Thanks to my incredible support system (coaches, family, teammates) and their constant love and encouragement, I hope to see my dream come to fruition when I enter college next fall. Thank you for your consideration.
