My name is Clara Stahnke.I am a solid all around player. I am known for my shooting but pride myself on my defense!  I am the baby of four in an ultra competitive family! To say my siblings and I have played just about every sport there is would be an understatement! My love for basketball began in 5th grade as i was looking up to my older brother. I started in a small rec league and hours of backyard games with my brother. My brother who towers over me showed no mercy at all, which ended in many fights but taught me I was stronger than i thought. It then became my goal to play like a boy! That's where my desire to master my three point shot and play aggressive defense came from!!  I continued on to play travel year round and 24 hours per month of private training  It soon became obvious basketball was my true love. Basketball has taught me the value of discipline and hard work that has carried through the rest of my life.The court is the one place I can leave it all! I want to carry on my basketball career to the college level and beyond! Eventually sharing my love of this awesome sport coaching other young talents!
