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

What Ja’Kobe loves most about playing sports is that it gives him an opportunity to interact with individuals who shares the same passion and commitments. He has met some lifetime friends through playing sports.


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

His mom because she always pushes him to be the best person he can be no matter what he is doing


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

I’m proud of how Ja’Kobe has grown on the court. During a Junior high conference game, Ja’Kobe was hit in the face with the basketball and he didn’t retaliate. He kept his composure and led his team to victory over a team that has beat them twice during the season.
