High School All A...Personal Statement
My collegiate aspiration is to be the epitome of the scholar-athlete while attending and graduating from a highly regarded college or university. My goals are to be a great teammate and strong competitor contributing to a successful basketball program and to graduate ready to launch my career in business/marketing or enter a prestigious graduate school.
I am an ideal candidate for a program that strives for excellence through both individual and collective hard work, attention to detail and focus.
I can’t say if my character is different from other recruits, but I can say that my work ethic, perseverance and personal behavior on and off the court have always earned praise from coaches and teammates. What distinguishes me athletically and academically from other recruits is the time and meticulous preparation I put into getting things done. I train hard to be in the best physical condition possible and place equal value on individual skill development. I strive to work collaboratively with my coaches and teammates as we work toward a common goal of success. Words that describe me include coach-able, cooperative, steady, and persistent.
