About Katara

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a versatile player. My position is a guard but I've been utilized in multiple positions. I'm a strong ball handler and can dribble in both low and high intensity games. I'm an unselfish passer, a team player and my goal is to get the best shot. I can adapt in all aspects of the game, and contribute effectively regardless of my position. I love to win and to play the game.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I'm very approachable, humble and a calm person. I'm passionate at what I do and I'm not afraid to face any challenges.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I'm involve in a Japanese club at my high school and volunteer at Beyond Hunger, an organization that provide food to anyone at need.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I'm always learning and working on enhancing my communication skills. To be more clear and effective when communicating with my peers, coaches and teachers.

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

Balancing loads of homework. I've learned that I need to prioritize my time and to be organized so I'm able to be successful.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that will have a strong Computer Science/ IT program and an organization that has a history of developing strong players for the next level.

Watson has shown her talent from the start of the summer to the end, and going into a season with a program that is stacked from top to bottom, it will be fun to see how she fits in and what role she provides for them. She is a true combo guard but could have a greater impact as a two-guard. Nonetheless, this kid has talent.
