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

I love playing basketball because it challenges me both mentally and physically. The fast pace, quick decisions, and teamwork keep me sharp and focused. I enjoy the feeling of sinking a perfect shot and the energy of a close game. On the court, I feel free—everything else fades away. Basketball helps me stay fit, build friendships, and grow in confidence. It’s more than a sport to me; it’s a passion and a way to express who I am.


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

My cousin who was a collage basketball player and he worked everyday. And it really showed me to work hard especially when he died due to a house break in and was shot. And his dream was to become successful and I want fulfill that dream


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

When I had 16 threes in a game.
