COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Coeur d’Alene High School’s Brookeslee Colvin is known for what she does on the basketball court, but that’s only part of who she is.
“I’m 17 years old I live a normal regular life just like everyone else,” Colvin said. “I think that’s something that’s huge, I’m not different than anyone, I’m just the same.”
On the court, Colvin is a force. She averages more than 20 points a game, has scored more than 1,000 career points, breaking the surpassing 1,000 career points, breaking the school’s scoring record and already holds 28 college offers.
Her head coach Stacy Boyd who works with her every day, says what sets Colvin apart shows up long before tipoff.
“Brookeslee has wrote her own story of success, I’m just happy to be in a chapter of her story,” Boyd said. “I mean I’ve coached for 25 years, and I’ve never coached someone with that work ethic, it’s different.”
Her dedication drives her on the court, but Colvin turns to God for strength, keeping herself grounded through the pressure of the game.
“I pray every single game day before I step on the court…I have that rock in him…. I put all my faith in him… Knowing that he’ll be there”
She’s never walked this path alone, leaning on an older sister who has been a constant source of advice and inspiration.
“We are two different people, but she always talks me through it,” Colvin said. “She’s an open door I just really get that good advice from her and she’s definitely been a great role model for me.”
Away from the noise and the numbers, she finds calm in things she loves, in moments few fans ever see.
“I’m very artsy, that’s something that’s interesting. I really like to paint I’ve always done that since I was a kid, so I do a ton of that and that really helps me calm my nerves.”
Rankings, records and 28 offers may open doors, but for Colvin, who she is beyond the spotlight will guide every step of the journey ahead.
