Dillon Easterling

My name is Dillon Easterling, and I am a 2027 guard from Buckhorn High School in Kentucky. During my sophomore year, I was named a 14th Region All-Star, averaging 19.3 points, 5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.7 steals a game. During my freshman year I attended Perry County Central (KY), where I had a 3.1 GPA. My goal during sophomore year was to improve my GPA, and I was able to do that raising it to 3.57. At this time, I am undecided on my college major. I was introduced and fell in love with the sport of basketball at a young age. It never gets old to me. At times it picks you up, other times it knocks you down, but it’s the constant grind and passion that I have for this sport that keeps me going and striving to be the best basketball player I can possibly be.   I truly believe this is the greatest sport ever invented. This game has taught me so much about life and how you get out of it what you’re willing to put into it. I enjoy going to practice, training and working out. Sometimes I don’t feel like being in the gym, but I continue to push myself to get through these things because I know the end result will be worth every second. During the season on days we practice, I spend an additional 2-3 hours before or after practice working on my craft. I work on every aspect of my game from ball handling, shooting, drives, finishes, midrange pull-ups, defense, passing, in-game scenarios, free throws – spending time each day focusing on anything I feel may be a weakness in my game. During the offseason I do 2-3 workouts per day for six days a week. During these workouts I’ll also add in weightlifting and more conditioning.   In my free time I enjoy helping younger players with skills training at the grade school I attended and where my younger brother attends school. I also volunteer as a referee during the Biddy League program.   I would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to view my profile. I am dedicated to playing this sport at the next level. I work hard and take pride in making sure each day I work harder than I did the day before. Thanks again and I pray to hear from you in the future.
