What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What David loves most about playing basketball is that it's competitive and challenging. He loves a good challenge that he's able to learn and grow from. It only makes him better.


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

The Most High is David's inspiration on and off the court because that's where his gift of being able to play basketball comes from. Kyrie Irving is another inspiration because of his style of play. Last but not least his father, who pushes him everyday to be better than he was yesterday.


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

It's so hard to speak of just one moment, but every moment I watch my son love what he do. Whether he plays up or grade level, he's often the most skilled but shows so much humility and compassion for the game that he inspires others. With him being the youngest on the floor, he displays acts of being relentless and becomes a DOG on the courts. He's courage displays a David and Goliath story.
