Sarah Schemerhorn '13 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old. My experience with basketball includes playing park ball and travel ball. I have been on the Varsity Basketball team since my freshman year. I started playing on my first travel team when I was 8 years old.  The team was named GBL Lady Rebels.  We (GBL) have been known for winning National Championships for many years. On that team, we won the 2007/2008 National Championship. After GBL, I played on  (1) And 1 and (2) Santa Monica Surf travel team. This year, the travel team I am playing with is Got Game.  My coach’s name is Sherrise Smith. To better improve my basketball skills, I attended Point Guard Camp at Sonoma State University 2011. I continue to have one on one training with various coaches, specifically with Coach Joshua Herscher. In June 2011, I won a NIKE training opportunity where we worked on becoming a better overall athlete. Keeping myself in excellent physical and mental condition is important because it gives me an advantage to be on top of my game.   One of the ways, I do this is by continuing to do martial arts and play competitive volleyball for my high school.  My talent and skills include great court vision and my energy is endless. I put my heart and effort into every game.  I have the will to win.  I am one of the best defenders on my high school team and I am an excellent ball handler, I have the ability to read the opposing team’s eyes. As one of the better players, I understand that a positive attitude is as important than scoring all the points because the team looks to you for guidance on and off the court.  I go to practice every day. Supporting your team is just as good as playing.  Simply put, basketball is my game.
