Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

My greatest challenge now is the declining numbers of high school basketball players at my local high school. Middle school players are having to be pulled up in order to fill our roster. Their level of play is not the same as mine and we should not expect it to be. I spend time with them on basic fundamentals, teaching plays, and building their confidence to be able to play at a varsity level.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am open to all colleges or universities that have an excellent education program. My goal is to pursue a degree in education with an emphasis in math.
