Kenny Shimwa '21 Recruiting Profile

I have always loved playing basketball from an early age but was always a sport I played for leisure as football was my main sport until August 2018  when I decided to seriously take up basketball at age 16.  I have always thought of and aspired to play at the college level in the USA and always believed that I would be capable of achieving that goal so long as I work hard on the court and especially in the classroom.

I am very passionate and emotional team member who enjoys encouraging my teammates and I always strive to be one of the hardest working players on any team I am on as I believe this is the only way I can get better. I am very coach-able as I learn and pick up things very quickly.  I always want to get better by listening and watching my coaches and teammates.

Off the court  I enjoy playing football with my friends, spending time with my family and I often go to church with my  family. 

I currently study and play at The Holy Trinity School which is a basketball academy in Crawley, England.

I want to attend a college where I will have the opportunity to challenge myself not only on the court but in the classroom. I believe I have the potential to play at the highest level of college basketball and I think with the right coaching staff around me I can go far. Ultimately I want to lead by example to all my teammates and make all my family proud.
