I realized that basketball was more than just a sport to me my 8th grade year. I wanted to better myself every day that I could, so I put in the work ethic to do so, I still do. Basketball has helped me grow not only as an athlete but an individual. I have developed a great character and learned how to be a great person on and off the court. I would make a great candidate for the team because I have and always will believe that being a great team player is not about the amount of points you but up, but it's about being mentally tough and and able to help and uplift your teammates and others around me on a daily basis. Basketball means everything to me, I knew this is what I wanted to do and I've been focusing and striving everyday to get to the next level.
