Dakota Pace's Men's Basketball Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Dear Prospective Coach,

My name is Dakota Pace.  I am a 5’9” 140 lb. men's basketball player. During my high school career, I played point guard both my freshman and sophomore years and switched to shooting guard my junior year.  The current plan is to have me play shooting guard my senior year as well, as I was the leading scorer for our team while playing this position.

In addition to my speed, my biggest strengths are commitment to the sport and my team, leadership, and being coachable.  I am in the gym everyday during both the on and off seasons.  I enjoy being in the gym shooting baskets, practicing with my team, picking up games, and being in the weight room. I lead my team by example. I am a level headed player and don't let emotion get the best of me. I focus and play basketball to the best of my ability. I am also very coachable. I have a natural athleticism, and if given direction, I am able to execute on that direction.

My academics are in order and I am a person of strong moral character.  I want to attend a college where I can play basketball and succeed academically. I am considering all options and am hoping to find not only the perfect school for me, but find a school that I am a good fit for and can contribute to as well.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dakota Pace
