About Payton

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a versatile player who makes quick gametime adjustments to reflect the style of play my team needs. I make decisions based on what is best for the overall team, I take pride in being a team player. I play aggressively both offensively and defensively. I bring an energy to the team that fosters an environment of hustle, hard work, and teamwork. Top defender Top rebounder 3 way scoring

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I can be quiet and reserved off the court but I am vocal and encouraging on the court. I am strong-willed, hard worker, coach able, adaptable, open-minded, active listener, persistent, empathetic and caring, mental toughness, and resilience. I lead by example and enjoy mentoring and uplifting my team skills we can "All Rise Up Together".

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

High Honor Roll with a GPA of 3.7+ throughout Jr. High School (6th-9th) I completed 8th grade math in the 2nd quarter of CY2023, and I completed 9th grade math in May 2023. I finished my 8th & 9th grade year at Quest Academy with numerous awards: 1). Three+ Sports Award, 2). Amazing Athlete of the Y Award, 3). Excellence in Math Award, 4). High Honor Roll. I completed 10th grade math in 9th grade

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I graduated from the Building Utah Youth (BYU) Leadership Training Camp (Utah teen development program) in July 2023 and recieved a Certificate of Completion for Building Utah Youth (BYU) Leadership Training Camp. Skills I developed: leadership, teamwork, active listening, effective communication, trust, mutual respect, integrity, empathy, connection, and fostering healthy relationships.

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

When I attended the BUY Leadership Camp I had to uncomfortably overcome many self limiting beliefs and my extreme fear of judgment. Unfortunately, I was bullied throughout my elementary years (for having red hair) and it caused me to have alot of confidence and self esteem issues. I've finally started to regain my confidence and I would really like to pay it forward and mentor other athletes.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that offers an academic program that I'm interested in: Sports Psychology Degree Sports Physician Sports Management Degree Basketball Coach - Coaching Athletic Training Degree Personal Trainer Chiropractic Sport Medicine Degree With a basketball program that will help me further enhance my skills.
