Basketball has become a very important part of my life. I have been a member of my school teams since the sixth grade and club teams since the third grade. Basketball has taught me how to have a strong work ethic, and be a team player. I am often recognized for being coach-able and a good leader.
I was very excited as a sophomore to be a part of the varsity team and winning the 2017-2018 Valley Championship. Being a part of the varsity team allowed me to grow as an athlete playing with and against strong competitors. I saw my basketball IQ increase and my skills become sharper.
When looking for a college and a basketball program it is important for me to find somewhere that has a good balance in both sports and academics. Over the next few years I will continue to grow as a student and an athlete. My commitment to education and basketball shows that I would be a great candidate for a college level program.
