Personal Statement

My interests in college studies are in the area of health sciences such as physical therapy, sports medicine, and exercise science. My reasons for those interests are that I am curious about the movements and functions of the athlete’s body, when healthy and injured. I also want to help people prevent and recover from injury because I hate being injured and being kept from doing what I really want to do: play basketball. I take my studies seriously and have a 3.7/4.0 GPA at an academically competitive high school.

What makes me different from other players is that I am dedicated and have a strong work ethic. Part of the reason is that I love the game, and the other reason is that I am often one of the shortest players on the court. This means that I have to compensate for my height by working harder than others and spending hours in the gym. I focus on my ball handling, shooting, and quickness. I work to develop my strength and vertical by lifting weights regularly. I am never satisfied and am always looking to improve. As a team member, I have a high basketball IQ, and I try to get my teammates involved. I look forward to being a part of a college team and play harder competition to grow as a player.

Evaluation: We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Barry University Virtual Elite Basketball Camp and thank you for participating. After reviewing your footage it was very clear that you have the ability to score the ball in many different ways. Finn you showed great skill in being able to create your own shot off the dribble. You also did a good job of getting to the basket and finishing at the rim through contact. Finn you shoot the ball well off the catch. With that being said there are still a few things you could improve on that would make you a much better basketball player. First improving your lateral foot speed would make you a good defender. Finn Committing to the weight room and getting bigger, faster, and stronger. Finally work on making your shot release much quicker. Finn if you commit time to improving on these things you will be well on your way to playing at the next level. Keep Working!
