- Freshman Holiday Tournament
Personal Statement
My name is Casey Stores, I’m a combo point guard and shooting guard that likes to either create my own shot and pass to my teammates to score.
Basketball has always been a passion of mine since I could remember. I’m an athlete, who has been playing soccer and basketball since I was five years old. I am good at both sports, but I choose to be great at basketball. I love to compete at the highest level. I have the work ethic; driven attitude and I am relentless on defense and offense on the basketball court. I’m the first one in the gym for practice and training and the last one out. I like to be productive in the gym with my trainer doing repetitions of shooting, passing, ball handling drills and strength training. The constant repetitions make me the confident basketball player I am today, which is why my goal is to play elite basketball at the highest level.
My education and community service are very important to me as well. I have a strong desire to own my own business someday. Through completing a degree in business studies, I hope to acquire the skills and knowledge that will allow me to prosper in a variety of business settings, from working in a demanding management position to running my own company or working on a self-employed basis. I’m a hard-working creative person, and I believe that because of these qualities I will succeed in the business world. A great university with a strong basketball team and a great business school is key to accomplishing my career goals.
In my community I currently volunteer at least 4 hours a week. Spending time helping at the local soup kitchen, food banks and cleaning up city parks provides an important service to less fortunate neighbors and keeps our city parks clean. Serving in the community is not only a way for me to give back and connect with people but it’s also a way for me to grow as a person. I’m learning people and communication skills that will help me work in diverse environments. I believe that through volunteering I am connecting with people that want to make the world a better place and I am gaining knowledge about how the world works every day.
