Determination...

My Name is Charles Agbakwu. I am from a small town called Glennville. I've been playing basketball since I was a little kid. I have a big family and everyone is passionate about basketball. I began to develope my game during junior high.

In high school I played varsity all 4 years. I averaged 17 points and 20 rebounds. I broke all of my schools rebound and block records. Over the summers I continued to improve my game by going to camps and doing drills with my trainer.

My coach said that I was one of the best all around players that he had. I kept a good attitude on the court and always listened to coach. The weight room really helped me alot. I realized that I had to get stronger or I would get pushed around. I play city basketball now, going around with my team playing other citys and towns.

Basketball has helped me out alot in life. It taught me to stay determined and do whats right. Playing basketball has kept me out of alot of trouble. Many of my old friends went out and got in bad trouble while I took up that time with basketball. I really owe basketball everything. I want to continue with my dream of basketball and hopefully finding a good agent to help me along.

I am always willing to learning and excel in my game.
