Growing up I was naturally talented in most sports I found interest in. My 7th grade year I tore my ACL and was forced to reevaluate who I was and what I wanted out of my life. I chose not to let it defeat me and focused more on academics and rebuilding my mental and physical capabilities. During this process I discovered my desire to play basketball at a more competitive level. I'm currently a Junior in high school at a small 1A school in western Kansas. I am a multi sport athlete playing football, basketball, and running track, but my primary focus is basketball. Outside of normal practices I put in extra hours in the gym and weight room while maintaining an 3.6 GPA. I also work with a basketball trainer in Hays, KS who used to play overseas and is helping me with my individual game.
My desire is to play at the next level in college while gaining an education and getting my degree. Of course my dream would be to play professionally in the future. As an athlete I am very coachable, determined, have a strong work ethic, and integrity. I have a desire to better myself to have a greater understanding of the game and how it's played.
