TexasSports.com introduces Women's Basketball newcomer, Krystle Henderson, as she begins her first year as a Longhorn. Last season Henderson won the NJCAA Division I national title with Trinity Valley Community College before signing with Texas on April 22, 2013.
Why Texas? It's home. I am a native Texan, so I was always well-aware of what UT has academically and athletically. I liked the way Coach Karen (Aston) interacts with me and the team. She has this program in an incredible position to succeed.
Hobbies/Interests: I like collecting shoes - the Air Jordan series in particular.
Biggest influence on my life: My parents. Their motivation and support during my ACL injuries during my freshman and senior seasons in high school really showed why they are such great parents to my brother, Jansen, and I.
Dream as a Longhorn: I want to win a national championship, earn a degree and prepare myself to enter medical school.
Playing style: Fast. Crafty. I love to push the tempo.
Before every game I: Listen to music and mentally reflect on my role for the game.
Greatest basketball achievement: Winning a national championship last season with Trinity Valley Community College (NJCAA Division I).
Best thing about Austin: The food!
One word that describes me: Confident.
Most admired person in basketball: Michael Jordan. He is the greatest athlete ever.
If I could guest star in a TV show it would be? Martin
You won't catch me eating: Eggs.
Greatest invention in the last 100 years: Cell phone.
If I could live any place in the world, it would be: New York, N.Y.
If I could meet three people: Martin Luther King, Jr., Michael Jordan, Oprah
Most thankful for: My health.
Most passionate about? Being an inspiration to other people.
