Jared Hall's Men's Basketball Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Hello, my name is Jared Hall and I started playing basketball in the first grade. I started playing competitively in the fourth grade. I became interested in this sport when I watched and listened to the stories of basketball players, which inspired me to start playing. I am a shooting guard from New Jersey who plays on an AAU team called Provenance Development. I am looking forward to playing my first year of HS basketball. Though my HS has a freshman team, my goal is to make the junior varsity team. Through playing basketball I learned that there will be a lot of ups and downs while playing the sport, which means I must always have a positive mentality while either playing, working out, or even training. Most importantly, I have also learned that confidence plays a major role in being successful in the game of basketball.

My academic goal for high school is to achieve and maintain honor’s level performance. I want to participate in extracurricular activities that will make me a more well-rounded person.  For college, my goal is to get a good degree that will help me become successful in life. Though I do not know exactly what I wish to study now, I know it will be something that will entail math and analytics. I have encountered one major obstacle so far in my basketball journey.  I injured my knee during a rec league game and underwent knee surgery during my 7th grade school year. This caused me to miss a whole season of basketball and development. This moment made me a stronger person and gave me the knowledge to not take anything for granted and always use the opportunities you are given to the maximum extent. Some unique characteristics I possess are being very creative, inspiring, confident, and lastly leadership. I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement.
