Natural leader (current team captain) who prefers to lead by example. Hard work ethic and holds self-accountable in school and sports.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

The summer before my sophomore year, I suffered an injury which led to me missing more than half of my HS basketball season. Being on the varsity team, I had hoped to contribute. The experience taught me not everything goes according to plan and you can choose how you deal with it. I had to re-focus, put in the work to return to play. I learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of.

Open to exploring all levels and options to find the best fit for me as a player and student. See my videos at X - Jakewyatt06 or at https://www.youtube.com/@jakewyatt2025
