Matthew Gazda '15 Recruiting Profile

A key thing that makes me stand out on the court is my hustle. There is rarely a moment on the court where I am not sprinting. That being said, I don’t go out of control. I keep my pace and my speed in a controlling state. I have a huge heart and am willing to go the extra distance to become the best that I can possibly be. I also believe that you can never stop improving. If I have to live in a gym then I will. I dedicate all my time on getting better. I am not that tall so I have to improve on every skill in my game to make up for the disadvantage and that motivates me even more to be better than my opponent. I have the heart and the mindset to play basketball and I believe the skill is there too but I plan on improving. School wise I am focusing on becoming a teacher and looking forward to becoming a coach as well.  I think of the future more than anything. I make sure the decisions I make now don’t affect my decisions in the future both on and off the court.  No matter what I do I always give 110% of my best.
