Jonathan's Story

My passion is basketball.

Basketball became my passion after years of experiencing it being played, watched, and talked about. I enjoyed it and wanted to keep getting better, or improving. Eventually, it evolved into my secondary focus, school being my first. I realized that without basketball, there was a sense of something missing. Even after breaking my arm, I attended practices and assisted the basketball coach and players. On my own time, I worked on my game with my good hand and kept on track for my recovery.

Attending Nike Basketball Camp will act as a catalyst, increasing the rate at which I improve in the sport. This camp will allow me to bring what I learn back to school and contribute to the school team. Additionally, it would help me to guide others around me and those younger than me with basketball. Lastly, it will place me in a strict and disciplined environment that is also fun.

A Note from Mr. Sullivan-Pires, Jonathan's Teacher

"Jonathan broke his arm last year, yet never let it get him down. He has consistently been one of our school's most zestful students, always smiling, joking, and lending a positive attitude to every class.

Jonathan has little organized basketball experience, so attending this camp will give him access to high quality coaching for the first time."

Excited for Nike Basketball Camps at Baruch College

I will soon be attending Nike Basketball Camp at Baruch College. I chose to attend this program because it would help me pursue a career in a sports-related field and prepare me for college basketball. I also made this choice because I have a deep passion for basketball, including playing, watching, and studying the sport. I'm looking forward to meeting new people with similar goals as me and working directly with them and instructors to better myself. This camp should be able to provide me with the most necessary skills to forward my standing in basketball overall.
