Colton Clevenger loves sports because they challenge him to grow and improve every day. He thrives on the energy of competition and the teamwork it builds. Sports are his passion and the place where he feels most alive.
Colton Clevenger is inspired first and foremost by his parents, whose constant support and belief in him push him to give his best every day. Their example of hard work and character motivates him both on and off the court. He also looks up to NBA star Stephen Curry, admiring his leadership, dedication, and the way he plays the game with heart and humility.
During his younger years, Colton faced challenges with his eyesight that could have easily held him back—but instead, he found a way to adapt, persevere, and continue growing as a player. His determination to overcome that obstacle not only shaped his resilience on the court but also revealed a quiet strength and focus well beyond his years. It’s a testament to his character that even early adversity became fuel for his development.
