TERRELL JAMES '17 Recruiting Profile

It is far too easy to view talent as an excuse. For me, it is a motivator. For my talent, I will accept nothing less than a dream that only a tiny percentage of people ever get to experience. To get there, I'm willing to work hard and wring every last accomplishment from myself.

Talent is a responsibility. Because you had nothing to do with acquiring it, you are compelled to achieve every last bit you can with it. While I had grown used to thinking varsity would be it, that was not the case. Now, I can focus on the goal while I accomplish the steps.

I had become used to thinking of victory as a goal rather than what it is: a process. To get it, you have to live to your absolute potential. I can only give it my best, and hope that I'm worthy of the gift I have inside.

Of course every kid has the goal and dream of making it big in the sports area, be it NBA,NFL, baseball, hockey which ever, I have played basketball since i was 5yrs old, and live for the sport, my life is on the court always.
