2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal is to play in the NBA. I aspire to play at the highest level that I can. On a daily basis I strive to improve whether it be athletically skilfully and as a person through playing basketball. I just want to play basketball at a high level and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes in order to get there and be successful.
I would be a good candidate because ever since I started to take sports seriously I made it my personal goal to outwork everybody I ever met I try to inspire the team and bring them with me. As a team player I always feel good setting up my teammates for scores and getting them into positions where they can be successful on the court.
I am a determined character, I set goals for myself and do everything possible to reach them. I think things through. Athletics is part of my daily routine. I work on my max vertical jump and do strength and conditioning exercises every day. I have worked on the track to increase speed and to activate my fast twitch muscle fibres and to improve my explosiveness on court for basketball.
I attended a Sports Clinic for aspiring athletes in Summer 2016 at Setanta College where I has the second highest box shot in the group 32".
At club level we were invited to partake in an International Basketball Festival in Barcelona in Summer of 2015.
Academically I am achieving 66% average over ten subjects, with 85% average in my top three subjects. I excel at English.
