Personal Statement

 I have wanted to play basketball at the collegiate level for as long as I can remember. I live by a motto of "success is planned, failure just happens." I am planning to succeed. Goals are important to me. Basketball is who I am, what I love and live for. I live to play this game.  I consider myself a well rounded player with a sharp three point shoot. I can catch and shoot, pull up in transition, drive the ball, beat you out on defense and complete on the line if needed. Basketball has taught me leadership, diversity, flexibility, discipline, understanding of commitment needed for success, while giving me the opportunity to gain great relationships, develop leadership skills and travel the U.S.

I am a student of the game as well as a good student. I actively participate in my school activities. I work hard on and off the court, keeping up my GPA, volunteering in my community on a youth advisor council for a local Community Foundation; The Truman Heartland Foundation, playing organized sports as often as I can and keeping up with my part-time job.  I would like to pursue a career in Dentistry.

I consider my work ethic one of my best traits; how much time I study film, work on my game or follow stats to stay competitive. I consider myself to have a high basketball I.Q.  Coaches can count on me for exceptional preparation, selfless play, pursuit of excellence, physical talent, mental toughness and leadership. Travel has come easy. Organization is a priority as well as keeping physically prepared for whatever is asked of me. I am ready to play at the next level.
