Hello! I am Uliana Kolesnyk. I love playing basketball and I am passionate about this game. I aspire to play at the highest level possible and at the same time to continue improving my playing skills. My objective is to find the right college match where I would be successful both on and off the court.

My strongest points as a player are my versatility and coachability. I'm used to working very hard wherever I play: my club, Bavarian selection team or Germany national team. I also try to always remain goal-focused and calm on the court. All this makes me confident about my abilities and readiness to compete at the collegiate level. I am sure that my skills and abilities can be a valuable addition to any program that values dedication, will to improve, and professionalism.

As a person I would describe myself as someone who is self-disciplined and values time. I strive to be positive and motivated, and to show respectful attitude towards other people. I have a great respect for people who helped me become a better player, for my coaches, for my mentors, and for all my teammates.

I am looking forward to becoming an important part of a strong team.

Between 2022 and 2024 (my 10th and 11th grades) I attended Gymnasium München Nord: one of the 4 Bavarian schools recognized by German Olympic Sports Confederation as elite sports schools, where the students are trained for national and international sport competitions.
