PLAYER BIO: 

My name is Sam Rees and this will be my third year with the CHAMPIONS Program. I continue to play with DistinXion not only because I've learned a lot about basketball but more importantly they have helped me develop lifelong character skills. So many of the players and my teammates have become some of my best friends over the years. That says something about a program who believes in teaching us more than just basketball. My goals within basketball: in high school, I would liked to be named to our all conference SWIAC team at the end of my junior and senior year. Beyond high school, I aspire to play basketball in college. My goals and aspirations off the court include being the best student I can be, leading by example within my school, and being involved with things that better my community. After high school I plan to attend college, though I haven’t fully decided what career path I want to take. I do like the thought of being a physical therapist or possibly a chiropractor; my dream job though would be an NBA Player. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends and going out to eat. I also enjoy playing video games (NBA2K). Some fun facts about me: I play saxophone in my school’s pep band, I’m a master at arcade basketball, and I can eat 20 inches of burrito at our local Mexican resstaurant.
