Alaina Thomson '14 Recruiting Profile

My current goals include graduating top of my class and as a team, win a state championship. Struggling with injuries my Freshman and Sophmore year, I feel like my last years in high school will be my opportunity to grow immensely as a player. I hope to help take my team to the state tournament this year, and emerge as a leader in this wonderful basketball program I am blessed to be a part of. I have played a post position my entire basketball career. This year I am working to improve my ball handling and my one-on-one skills. I am transitioning into playing more on the perimeter and extending my shooting range. My goal is to play basketball in college.  Recieving a scholarship to attend college and play basketball has always been a goal of mine. My dream is to be a memorable basketball player but I also value education. I recognize that basketball can only take me so far in life. To neglect education because of a sport would be a mistake. In order to become the best person I can be, challenging myself in college and starting a career after I graduate is a must. I want to have a family someday, I think being a great mom would be one of my biggest goals. I believe that pursuing basketball and a college education is something I need in order to continue developing myself as a person, and to aid in achieving other goals I have for my life.
