Basketball Superstar in Training

Marcus Benford

I have been playing basketball since I was in the 4th grade. I couldn't do to much then but run up and down the floor. As time went own my love for the game begin to grow and grow. I practice hard day and at night to improve my skills. I think the reason that inspired me the most to be good at basketball, was the fact that i didn't make the all-star team the year before. My coaches had  looked me in the eye and told me that I wasn't good enough, so I set out to prove them wrong. I have been blessed in the field of basketball and I now am a proud participant of the UAH Charger Basketball Team. 

More about me:
        Born:      March 23, 1982
        Height:     6'4
        Weight:     200lbs
        High school: Sparkman 
        Position:   Forward

Joining this team has been one of the greatest things that has happened to me. We play hard and we have fun learning the disciplines of the great sport of basketball. Every since I have been apart of this team I have become more athletic and I have learned the value of team. I have also learned that I must be consistent on the court and off the court in my actions.

I know that I am on an awesome basketball team, but I still know that I must perform in the classroom. I would like to go pro but if i don't I would like to have a good degree to fall back on. Basketball will take me places, but if it doesn't I know that a good education will.
