Sahaylee Mason '26 Recruiting Profile

     Hello my name is Sahaylee Mason. Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. Some of my collegiate goals and aspirations are graduating, playing women's basketball, meeting new people, making new friends and maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. My biggest collegiate goal and aspiration is to find the perfect school where I can both pursue my orthodontics degree and have a positive impact on the women's basketball program. 

     I believe I am a good candidate for this team because I have a special love and passion for the game of basketball. I am an excellent teammate and I am willing to do whatever it takes to help make the team better. I set a good example by showing up to practices early. If it is allowed, I will stay late after practice to get shots up or work on different parts of my game. I am always open to constructive criticism and use that to improve my game. 

     I believe there are many factors that make me different from other recruits in character, athletically and academically. I have a very strong character. I have excellent leadership skills that blend perfectly with the point guard position. I am a proud Native American woman and I am an enrolled tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. Culture is very important to me. I have 3 younger brothers and 1 younger sister. I pride myself on being the best possible role model I can be. Especially academically and athletically. It is my hope that they see through hard work and dedication anything is possible and good things happen. Athletically, I have the unique ability to control the pace of a game. I can score when needed but I also know how and when to get my teammates involved. I am a 3 sport athlete. When I'm not on a basketball court, I enjoy playing volleyball and softball. Academically, I know that school work always comes first and that playing sports is a privilege. I have consistently been an honor roll student since middle school.

     In closing, I would just like to say thank you once again for taking the time to read my personal statement. I look forward to talking with you and learning more about your program. I believe I would be a great addition to your team.

                                                                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                                                                                        Sahaylee Mason
