Join the CompetitionI love playing basketball because of the people I’m surrounded by: teammates who support me, coaches who guide me, and the friends I’ve made through the game. It has given me opportunities to travel, see new places, and grow both on and off the court. Most importantly, it’s something I share with my family. Whether they’re coaching me or playing alongside me, basketball brings us closer and creates memories I’ll always value.
I’m inspired by my uncle, who played basketball in high school, college, and professionally in Germany. His journey shows me what’s possible with hard work and commitment. He’s also coached me, and his guidance and love for the game have had a huge impact on my growth as a player.
My proudest moment in my athletic journey was when my team made the Arizona Open Division bracket for the first time. It was a goal we set at the start of the season, and we worked hard every day to reach it. Finishing with a 22-8 record made it even more meaningful and showed how far we had come as a team.
