Crysel Alvarado '21 Recruiting Profile

Going into college with a scholarship has always been a huge thing for me not only for basketball but also for academics. Growing up I always had this urge to pick up a basketball and go shoot around and try to learn new things. Through hard times basketball was always there for me, if I ever needed to clear my mind or even to just learn new skills I would turn to basketball. I've always been the type to take criticism well from my peers or coaches and i'm very determined on and off the court. Being able to never give up or lose hope is something I think makes me different from other recruits. I'm confident in everything I do and i'm not afraid to make mistakes as it’s apart of growth. I'm very athletic and i'm always open to trying new things or pushing myself to get better.  I’ve had a passion for ball since I was 7.  I’m easy going and determined.  Growing up I've always had people tell me i'm not good enough , i'm too weak or I won’t succeed. I took those words of discouragement and forced it to encourage me into a better more resilient player. I’m stronger because Many didn’t want to see me achieve my goal. I’m living it and I know I will strive to be where I want to be because I was doubted. I wont stop until do. I'm very different from the rest and i'm determined to prove it...watch me!
