Amanda Barton hasn't added a story.
A couple of weeks ago I received an invitation to go join a group of 60 other basketball players to play in front of National and International Scouts in Fort Lauderdale Fl. I've been thinking long and hard and talking with Kumator on how I can make this happen.
This has been the dream and the end goal my entire life, this is why I have spent endless hours at the gym and in the weight room and this is why I didn't quit playing and working out after I graduated because I knew there was still a chance, and now is my chance!
As I started to catch my stride after transferring to Concordia my life was threatened with a blood clot in my lung that sidelined me for 9 months. The following season, my senior year, I severally sprained my ankle, which we found out later was a fracture, this injury really hampered my ability to play and my confidence the entire season, which led to me walking away my senior year thinking everything was over.
I continued to join in on games at our local Lifetime 3 to 4 times a week where I am constantly told I should go try out for the Lynx, I laughed at them and continued to hold my own against these grown men. As I continued to get in better shape I realized I still have shot but I need your help!!
We are responsible for getting to the combine which is all the way in Florida meaning I will need a flight and a hotel room. At this point in my life I cannot afford it so I am reaching out to my friends and family who have been there for me throughout this entire journey! Every little bit helps, I appreciate it more than you will even know!
Sincerely, Bart
