Personal Statement

I hope to be a leader for any program I am led into. A player who not only contributes to the team but contributes to the growth of the other players with me. I also want to excel off of the court in my eventual college studies in sports medicine. My ultimate strength is hard work. I am very persistent in my effort, and my passion for the game of basketball makes me an aggressive competitor. I'm very focused on elevating and expanding my comfort zones in the game of basketball, adding new skills to my game, and incorporating them.  As a student-athlete, I keep up my school work and get good grades. Overall, my big-picture goal is to be a master at basketball, and have the way I play to be seen as the model for a great ballplayer. Past college, my dream is to be an NBA player.
