To all viewing my profile: Currently I’m a student at Taft High School in San Antonio, TX. I have a great deal of respect and love for the game of basketball. I do have a certain degree in mind that I would like to pursue in college within the medical field. I know academics are very important to whichever college I attend. I also believe that the same focus and dedication I give to basketball is required of me in the classroom and is key to accomplishing my goals in life. I am willing to look at any opportunity to play basketball. I don't back down from challenges and opportunities to grow in my knowledge of life and basketball. Wherever I go, I know I will work to make a positive impact on the school, my teammates, community, and my future. I am a disciplined and determined athlete pursuing academic excellence and my dream is playing basketball at the collegiate/professional level. I’m a team player with intensive sacrifice and commitment to the game I love as I achieve my goals in life and objectives. I am humble, hard-working, and train daily. I also work on skill work to perfect my craft 6 days a week. I am a floor leader and aggressive rebounder with blocks and steals. My father is my role model, and he has always instilled in me what it takes to be successful in life and is always available to guide and mentor me. My love for athletics evolved from first grade till now as I excelled in football, soccer, and basketball. I am a team player that would love the opportunity to play at the next level and further my ability in college basketball and into the professional realm by the grace of God and my commitment. I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile and I hope I can have the opportunity to communicate with you. Best Regards, JACOB BENITEZ
