An Open Letter to the Basketball Community of Duke Blue Devils
To the Blue Devil Family,
I feel a great sense of joy and thankfulness as I compose this letter. It’s a dream come true for me to play basketball for Duke, and I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped me along the way.
I want to express my gratitude to Coach Scheyer and the entire coaching team for their support and for allowing me to represent this esteemed program. Your advice, expertise, and dedication to quality are genuinely motivating. I pledge to put forth a lot of effort each and every day to preserve the principles and ideals that characterize Duke basketball.
You are my brothers, my teammates, and you are more than that. We have an unbreakable tie, and I appreciate all of your hard work, support, and camaraderie on the court. We push each other to be the finest versions of ourselves as we work toward greatness together. Being a member of this amazing team makes me proud, and I look forward to what we can accomplish as a team.
The core of this program is the enthusiasm and steadfast support of the Duke community and its supporters. We are motivated to give it our all in every game by your unwavering enthusiasm and commitment to Duke basketball, which you bring to Cameron Indoor Stadium. It’s really inspiring to know that we have such a supportive community behind us. Every time I step onto the court, I swear to give it my all and play with pride, tenacity, and heart.
Lastly, I’d like to pay tribute to the Duke athletes that came before me. I do not take for granted the honor of following in the footsteps of legends. I’m determined to carry on their heritage by putting in a lot of effort, acting honorably, and aiming for perfection in all I do.
I appreciate being accepted into the Duke family. Let’s make this the season to remember. As move forward, you forever remain part of my history.
Go Blue Devils!
Sincerely,
Kyle Filipowski
