Olivia Brown '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Olivia Brown.  I attend Longmeadow High School, in Longmeadow, Massachusetts.  I have maintained a 4.0 GPA since my Freshman year.  I started playing the game of basketball in 2nd grade at the age of seven.  Since then, I have grown a loving passion for the game.  Starting in 6th grade, I solely focused on playing basketball, and began playing AAU, in addition to our town league.  Because of my love for the game, I continue to play year round for both my high school and AAU teams.  As a Freshman, I played on our Varsity team, which helped me develop both as a player and person.  As a Sophomore, I started every game and helped lead my team to the playoffs for the second year in a row.

I am left handed and feel my greatest strength is shooting, particularly from 3-point range.  Over this past year, I have extended my range, where I am now consistently shooting from around the women's college three point arc.  Although I can shoot, I have been getting considerably better at driving to the hoop, as well as creating scoring opportunities for my teammates.  Additionally, I pride myself in my defensive intensity and aggressive rebounding efforts.  Overall I am very committed to the sport, training nearly everyday and attending skills clinics such as PGC.  I have a strong work ethic and I am constantly striving to become the best player I can be.  Currently, I am exploring college options, and hope to attend a school with a competitive basketball program, that will challenge me both athletically and academically.  My hope is that my academic and athletic achievements in high school, will create those opportunities for me.
