Asja's Story

My passion is basketball. When I was in the 4th grade, my mom asked if I wanted to play basketball, and I immediately said yes. My parents have played basketball their entire lives, and since I've always looked up to my parents, I was inspired to do the same. When I first started, I was nervous and lacked confidence. After a couple seasons with great coaches and teammates, not only did my skills improve, but my personality transformed from being a really shy girl to being fun and outgoing! Now, basketball is where my confidence comes from, and I am now the extroverted girl who can confidently showcase her talents. Basketball is an outlet form me to express my emotions and relieve any stress I'm under. When describing Asja, you can't leave out basketball.

As I've grown into becoming a more skilled player, I have come to the realization that I am not the only female basketball player in the world. I am interested in playing collegiate level basketball, and would like to further improve my skills to compete. I believe attending PGC Playmaker College II will provide me the necessary coaching and development opportunities to further improve and grow as a basketball player.

A Note from Mr. McKenzie, Asja's Mentor

I strongly believe that Asja is a good candidate for PGC Playmaker College II for multiple reasons. Asja is a hard working individual if you ask her to give you a 100% she'll give you 250%. Asja is a student who wants to be challenged and pushed to become a better individual and I believe by accepting her into this program you will see a individual who will give you a 200% of her time and effort to make sure she continues to grow.

Point Guard College was the best experience I've had. To learn about the game of basketball in a way that makes it so much more clear was fun. I met so many new people around the world and even some that live in the same city as me. Thank you to all the donors that contributed to my experience at PGC!

I am so excited to attend this program. Playing basketball and working on my skills all day for 5 days straight is something I've never had the time for. I would like to thank all my donors for contributing and making me a better player. Can't wait to head to Springfield College!
