2021 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My name is Ben Kim. I am a 5’10” point guard at Walter Johnson High School (Class of 2024). From the age of 6 years old, much of my life has been consumed by basketball. It is what I have played almost every day of my life for the past 10 years, and what I think about every day. Even with the time commitment that comes along with playing basketball, I have been able to maintain a high GPA throughout high school. One of my main goals for a while has been to play college basketball. I believe what separates me from other athletes is my attention to detail, which can range from striving to properly execute a play every time down the court, or repping out a certain move until perfection in skills training. I have an obsession will skill development, which led me to start my basketball training business in 7th grade. My quickness and ability to handle the ball are my strongest attributes, as well as being able to get into the paint and create for myself and others.
