Jalen Hardy '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been drawn to the game of basketball since the age of three; playing organizationally since the fourth grade. As an athlete, I have been focused on personal and physical growth and development, strengthening my performance through the basic fundamentals of ball handling, shooting, and strong defense and offense mechanisms, plus increasing my leadership capabilities. Additionally, I am a team player that's coachable with a clear understanding that it takes unity, dedication, preparation and hard work in order to be successful.

Off the court, a quality education is the priority and of greatest importance requiring a substantial amount of time and commitment to both studying and satisfactory performance to maintain a high GPA. I am actively involved in the Teen Ministry at my local church; as well as occasional community service at the YMCA of Greater Cleveland.

I aspire to attend a college/university where I can flourish both academically and athletically. Although I am uncertain of my career path at this point; I trust that as I experience my years of High School, my selection will be a combination of both purpose and destiny.
