Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would label myself as a power point guard with good floor vision and can score on all 3 levels. I am very strong and use my strength to score whenever.

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

I am very dedicated and hard-working, I spend up to about 18 hours a week in the gym and working on my craft. I am very kind-hearted and I have very good leadership skills and Im very vocal.

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

Yes, I am apart of the National Society of High School Scholars!

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

I have very strong leadership skills, such as helping those who struggle around me and speaking up or guiding others to success. I also love being around children and helping them as well, whether its with sports, school work, or even just being someone they can speak to and trust.

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

Yes, I have faced multiple challenges involving my confidence, or just my metal state. There's been multiple times where I've felt stuck as in just staying in one place with my basketball skills but also in life generally. My coach and my teammates have lately been the solution for when I struggle with my confidence or if I just need to vent or speak to someone about whatever's going on.

What type of college are you looking for?

When I picture college, I picture a school with a good doctors program on a big campus where I can meet new people and be an inspiration. On the basketball hand, I want teammates who I can trust and talk to and who will push me and lead me in the right path. I love people who tell me when Im wrong but also show me how to do things the right way.
