Since middle school, I have been very passionate about the game of basketball. As a high school player, I became the first player in school history to earn my varsity letter as a freshman who was moved up from Junior Varsity. I am a very hard worker and hope to earn the opportunity to play at the collegiate level.
As a player, my strongest abilities are my defense, shooting, and leadership. I always try to lead by example and value being a good teammate. My coaches can depend on me when I'm on the floor and I perform well under pressure. My coaches, trainers and travel coaches view me as a hard worker, reliable player, and asset to the team.
In the classroom, I have worked hard to maintain a good GPA. I also volunteer in the local community and hold leadership positions in my church and school. This summer, I will also launch my company (Life and Basketball) and provide a free basketball camp for girls that will include academic, education, and health components along with top notch training and evaluation. I am also a sports writer who covers high school basketball in the metro Detroit area.
I am interested in attending a college or university that will allow me to excel in the classroom, community and on the basketball court. I want the academic fit that will also provide an opportunity to play basketball and compete at a high level. My goal is to graduate in four years and be a great citizen at the school I am blessed to attend.
