Zion Corrales Nelson '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Zion Corrales Nelson from Burnaby, B.C. Canada and I am writing to you because of my interest in playing basketball in college. I play on my high school team and I consider myself an outstanding team player and a very hard working athlete. I have heard comments from my coaches that I have an extremely high basketball IQ and very coachable.  I am also a team player and consider myself and each of my team members as a family.

Just to tell you a little bit about myself.  I am a POINT GUARD on my high school team and believe I am a dedicated team player.  I appreciate and believe my position in the team as a point guard requires leadership and confidence and I believe I have both.  I believe in doing my best in every game I play.  I believe I always give 100% of myself in every game and in any position given to me by my coach to play.

Every tournament I have participated has brought me more knowledge and experience.

I work very hard to excel and try to be an asset to my team.  I have received many basketball awards that I am very proud of.  Most notably the following for our Provincial Championships Awards:

MVP – Grade 8 BC Provincial Championships 2012 (1st Place Champions)

Defensive MVP – Junior Varsity BC Provincial Championships 2013 (2nd Place Champions)

Defensive MVP – Varsity BC Provincial Championships 2014 (3rd Place Champions)

1st Team AllStar – Varsity BC Provincial Championships 2015 (3rd Place Champions)

I have also received in most of our games and tournaments as either Player of the Game or MVP or All Star of the Tournament.

As a student, I will be in Grade 12 this coming September 2015 and will be striving to graduate with honours as I have in the past 4 years.  I currently have a 90% GPA and I plan on taking the SAT on October 3, 2015.  My goal is to score as high as I possibly can. I have been studying all summer and hope to achieve an excellent score.

I hope that you are able to see me play.  On the social media, I currently have the following and some public videos for your viewing:
