Personal Statement

My personal website is NathanielHowell.com 

I am an all around athlete having played on my school soccer, volleyball and football teams, however, basketball has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old. 

I am extremely coachable and unselfish on the basketball court, I always give a 110% effort and strongly believe actions speak louder than words.  

I am a leader on and off the court. As a big brother, teammate and scholarship recipient, I am keenly aware that I am already a role model and my conduct represents my family, my team and my school at all times. I prefer to lead by example when encouraging my teammates to work harder, I strive to carry myself in a manner which represents the best of my support system at all times.  I enjoy making the right play over the highlight play, I bring energy and positivity on both sides of the court. 

My goal is to play basketball at the highest level. I am currently a freshman playing on my high school's varsity team and am a member of one of the premier Rep/AAU programs in the nation.  

Off the court I am a strong academic student. I currently attend Upper Canada College, arguably the top academic high school in Canada. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic my recent basketball experience has been limited to team practice, scrimmages and individual workouts. However, in my last full season (2020-2021) I led my school team to both the CAIS National Championship and CISAA DII Championship.
