Artist Statement:
What do you want to do when you graduate from high school? Many people want to go to college and earn a degree. But not everyone is alike. Not everyone has the same goal as each other. What if you played a sport in high school and want to continue playing in college while being a student? Now that right there is a reason how everyone is not alike.
My piece “Recruit Me” is a video clip about dedication. I chose to do this piece because I was a high school student-athlete back in the day and my dream was to play college basketball. Going to school and playing sports in high school was a fairly easy thing to do. But, when you get to college, everything changes. The reason why I wanted to do this video is because people don’t understand how much dedication of your time that it takes for being a student-athlete at the college level. I chose to record my brother, who also is a student athlete who knows what it takes in order to be successful at this level.
I chose the title “Recruit Me” because on Indiana University South Bend’s athletic website, www.iusbtitans.com there is a form/questionnaire to high school students and transfer students to fill out if they would like to attend IUSB. One reason that people will fill this form out is because of this reason: “According to the National Federation of High School Athletics, there are more than 15.2 million high school athletes. There are only 2,200 colleges with athletic programs.” My point is, most college coaches cannot go out and watch that 15.2 million high school athletes.
This video will appear once someone clicks on the “Recruit Me” button on the website and it will show how much dedication of time a student-athlete at the college level will give in order to make it at this level.
All the filming is done with, all that needs to be done is the video editing. At the end, it will be about 6-7 minutes long.
