Personal Statement
My dad has influenced my life drastically, whether it is respecting others, discipline, determination, drive, personal pride, or even just basketball, it has all come from him. When I was young I wanted to do everything like my dad, I would always get the same haircut as him, go fishing with him, play rugby and basketball just like he did. So my interest in basketball started when at a young age, watching my dad play in the local Wednesday night mens league with his friends, I would always go to his games, watching him play made me want to play.
Through basketball I have learned resilience, commitment, sacrifice, and leadership. I am looking for a program that will not only be a good fit for me athletically but also academically, as if something happens to me, I have a backup plan and career that I can pursue off the court while still being connected to the game. I can fit into teams in any environment, I believe I understand the game, but I have a hunger to learn. I know that I am a solid wing player who is capable of being a leader like no other at the college level.
