Elijah from a very young age has always pushed himself above and beyond what has been asked of him on and off the court.

What he loves most about playing basketball is being able to travel and meet of athletes that have as much love of the game as he does.
I would say his mother inspires him on and off the court,her continuous hard work, dedication to him and constant love for what he does while always working to better himself and others around him.
I would have to say his freshman year when he tore his ACL and his meniscus.He had to sit out that entire season,Not only did he have an amazing attitude, but he took it upon himself not to miss one practice or one game. He also took advantage of bettering himself by learning the game from the sidelines with the coach and from that he’s made himself such a better player a well rounded player he can facilitate himself with his teammates, better on the court
