Personal Statement

I am a 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound shooting guard in the class of 2026 at Northshore High School in Slidell, LA. I am a starter for the Varsity team, and I also play AAU for Team F.O.E New Balance P32. I thoroughly enjoy the grind it takes to play the sport I love so much. I am fortunate to have three basketball trainers who have trained players at the highest level and still take the time to develop and build my skill set. I also have two separate physical trainers who have trained at the highest level and push me to the limit every time we work out. Generally, if I'm not in the school gym after class is over, I'm at one of four trainers' gyms, my local gym, or the court in my backyard. I enjoy watching game films with my basketball coaches and learning to grow and develop an eye for movement away from the ball, positioning, decision-making, and rebounding and defending on the other end of the court. Basketball is life for me, so I am actively engaged with the sport in some capacity, either playing or training, for the entire year. 

I hope to attend a university that will provide me with the opportunity to learn, develop, and grow. I hope to lead our team and the University to the highest level of success through teamwork, hard work, dedication, and commitment. I also intend to be the best student by applying myself to achieve academic excellence. 

My goal for the next eight years is to develop into the best possible player I can be, lead my team to victory, achieve high honors academically, and become a highly productive member of our society as a leader and influencer of positivity and purpose.
