Sport: Basketball #1 Guard #2 Guard
Goal To be a successful player in Professional Basketball and to use all opportunities presented to me to make that goal a reality. Not settle on being anything but the best.
Skills, Training, and Playing Characteristics Smart, aggressive player, has the ability to visualize the entire court. Can attack the basket with right or left hand to draw in the defense so he can make the decision to pass, or score, if defense is not drawn in. Has a consistent 3 point shot that would force the defense to come out and guard him.
Has had extensive speed and agility training, which has helped with his “lock-down” defense, allowing him to shut his man down and be able assist teammates in further defensive measures. Has explosive spring, which aids in blocking the offenses shots and gives him the ability grab the rebound and push the ball down court for a fast break or a quick set-up.
Has an outgoing personality that has enabled him to not only be a good teammate but also be a leader when needed. With his “court vision” he can move the ball around quickly and keep the team in sync. This is how he has proved to be a leader and an important asset to his team.
