Aaliyah Collins '21 Recruiting Profile

Playing basketball is more then just a sport to me, it's my passion! The best part of the game that I love the most is that there is always something for me to improve on and i absolutely love criticism because that tells me exactly what i need to work on. When I see players who are better then me, it motivates me and pushes me to work harder and to want to get as good if not better then that player. I always love good competition, but my favorite is when you compete with your teammates. When i say competing I mean those practices when you and your teammates are always pushing to get each other better while getting yourself better at the same time. I feel as though i do a really good job at seeing the floor and getting assists, but can get to the bucket when we need it. My biggest attribute is that when my offense isn't working out, I go and play defense even harder to create more offensive opportunities and do the best i can for the team and knowing that my teammates have my back. I have always known that i wanted to play college ball when I got older because i immediately fell in love with the sport, and for a while now i have been super interested in education and teaching elementary school students. So learning how to become a teacher and play the sport that i love sounds wonderful and gets me excited for my future!
