Determined Junior Lets Hs Organizational Skills Shine

nf aa 5-14 01Justin Goldfeder is the definition of a student-athlete. If not in the gym, he’s at home studying. Major reasons for his academic success are his organization and time management skills. “I’m self-disciplined and determined, I pre-plan and follow my planner,” says Goldfeder. These qualities earned him a perfect 4.0 grade point average.
“My goal is to play basketball on the college and professional level,” he says. He can attain this goal after the conclusion of his high school career for the Crusaders of Bishop Kenny High School.

 

Goldfeder, a junior, is crafty and pass first oriented. Admiring the talents of the NBA’s Steve Nash and Chris Paul explains his impressive ball-handling and passing abilities. Goldfeder has excellent court vision and a high basketball IQ. “Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard” is the quote that best describes Goldfeder’s approach. He is nf aa 5-14 hilitethe type of player who doesn’t say much, but instead works hard and leads by example.

The Crusaders, coached by Jerry Buckley, finished their season 21-9 overall and 5-1 in district. On February 22, the Crusaders’ season ended in a tough 52-63 point loss to Rutherford High School in the Regional Finals of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) 5A state tournament. The crusaders made an impressive run, defeating Palatka and Baker County High School in the quarter- and semifinals.

The 2013-2014 season was rough for Goldfeder, who averaged only two points and two assists per game. Goldfeder is fully capable of double-double performances in both the points and assists categories. In other words, don’t count him out of the leaderboards for the incoming season.
