    My name is Jaiden Issaic Campbell and I am 18 years old from Anna, Texas. There are four words that shape my life: God, family, School and Basketball.  I have been an avid student of the sport of basketball since my earliest memories. The absolute adoration of the game led me to playing from 1st grade to present day. 

    Through my basketball career playing for Anna Middle School and Anna High School I have had achievements, lessons and adversities.  For achievements, in 8th grade I was recognized and received a medal for individual performance  for the Denton Braswell Tournament. My Freshman year the Anna Freshman team went undefeated in District, earning 1st place and ended the season with an overall record of 26-3. One of the main adversity and had to overcome was the lack of playing time my Sophomore year  playing on Varsity. Through this experience I gained a massive amount of time for self reflection. My reflections of self led me to making the decision to spend more time and put more work into my craft. I sharpened my court vision, defensive skills, shot form, weight room presence, and my sheer knowledge of the game.
