Jarrod is attending Southeast Community College is because he received a scholarship to play basketball with the Storm. He also wanted to come to America for the experience.
After graduating, he plans to become a Physiotherapist, or, if possible, to play in the professional league.
Before playing basketball, he played beach volleyball. He says his parents let him try basketball, and he has played ever since.
Jarrod describes himself in three words as; Tall, Quiet, and Friendly.
His strengths are his shooting and tallness. His weakness is on ball defense.
The best advice Jarrod was given was the quote, “It doesn’t matter how hard you can hit, it’s how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.” from the movie Rocky. His father is the one that says this quote to Jarrod.
The best time Jarrod had playing with the Storm was playing against Cloud County. He said the game had a great atmosphere about it, and the crowd was amazing.
One goal of Jarrod’s is to see SCC go to the National Championships.
