About Willie

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I bring intensity to the floor both offensively and defensively. On the defensive side of the ball I am able to guard all five spots. As well as a strong rebounder and shot blocker inside. Offensively I am able to play both inside and outside with strong posts moves and three-point shooting. Also, a high percentage free throw shooter when I am fouled and go to the line.

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

I am very competitive and always want our team to do our best on the floor. I bring a lot of positive enthusiasm and intensity to my teams.

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

I played club lacrosse for Team MN for two years. I also am currently teaching myself to play the guitar. I also work at the Minnesota State Fair each summer.

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

Even though I have been the youngest on our high school team the last two seasons. I have developed into one of the main team leaders this season. My team just voted me as one of the captains for next year as a junior at our season ending banquet. I have also volunteered multiple times at Feed My Starving Children.

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

Coming in and starting as a freshman last year, came with a few challenges at first. It was a large jump from 8th grade traveling. But I was able to believe in my ability and continued to work very hard outside of practice. The hard work paid off and I became comfortable rather quickly. Ending my freshman year with All Conference Honorable Mention honors.

What type of college are you looking for?

My goal is to play college basketball. I am starting to visit schools and see what types of campuses I feel most comfortable with. As far as size, location and culture. I am also looking for a school with a strong business program.
