Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I would describe my gameplay style as physical, smart, and team-oriented. As a post player, I focus on dominating the paint, controlling rebounds, setting strong screens, and finishing efficiently around the basket. I take pride in doing the dirty work and being a reliable presence inside.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I have a calm but competitive mentality. I stay locked in and focused, whether I’m on the floor or on the bench. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I always try to lead through my effort, energy, and consistency. I value growth and always look for ways to improve.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I’ve consistently earned placement on the Principal’s Honor Roll and have been recognized as Student of the Month multiple times. I’ve also received a couple of leadership awards for my involvement and positive impact in school.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I’ve developed strong teamwork and leadership skills through basketball. Being in the post, I’ve learned how to communicate effectively on defense, read the floor, and support my teammates. I’ve also grown as a leader by staying consistent, showing up early, and holding myself accountable on and off the court.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
Yes, I’ve faced many challenges, such as an injury, balancing school and sports, family struggles, and self-doubt. It taught me how to stay mentally strong, ask for help when needed, and keep pushing even when things are difficult.
What type of college are you looking for?
I’m looking for a college that offers strong academics, a competitive athletic program, and a supportive team culture. I want a place where I can grow as both a student and an athlete, and where I feel challenged, motivated, and at home.
