Personal Statement

Basketball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have participated in both school and AAU basketball since 3rd grade. Although I am a multi sport athlete participating in softball, volleyball and track as well, basketball has been what I have loved the most.. It has been a goal of mine to play basketball at the collegiate level. Every game I strive to play the best game I can and be the best teammate possible. My aspiration is to not only excel on the court but in the classroom.

I am a Total team player, very coachable, top defensive player, have basketball IQ and good court awareness. I feel I am athletic, good height, can post up, take the ball to hoop, and score from midrange and at the 3 point line. Would be good fit as Stretch 4 or Small Forward.
