Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Kevin Durant, Kyree Irving, Colby Bryant and Tre Young. Kevin inspire me by the culture of basketball. Kyree inspires me by the game. How he talks about his lessons, how he controls his game. Tre Young has great motivation as well as his mindset. Colby had a great mindset and the way he hustled.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

A moment in their journey that inspires me is that he never gives up. Even when he feels it wasn't good enough, he will never give up on his dreams. Turned down at try outs he searches for another outlet in order to play. Made the decision to change schools when his own wouldn't give the opportunity. No matter who or what he was leaving behind he continues to chase his dream.
