Akilah McFadden '16 Recruiting Profile

My goal in life has always been to play basketball for a University of my choice with dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. I would like to attend a small University where I can pursue my dream of playing intercollegiate basketball while also earning a degree so I can follow my passion of becoming an athletic trainer. I would like to mentor young girls who have the same passion for basketball as I do. I have been playing basketball since the age of three and I've learned many things about this sport.  I've learned to become a team player, have good sportsmanship, help others in need, and take positive criticism from my coaches and teammates. I have worked and dedicated myself to my academics as well as basketball and I am excited to continue these skills at the next level in order to achieve these goals.  I am self-motivated and work hard in everything that I do and I know this will help me as I continue my career at the next level.
