Playing basketball is the way it pushes him to grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally. He love the competition, the grind, the teamwork, and the feeling of stepping on the court knowing he can impact the game. It’s more than a sport—it’s his passion, his escape, and his purpose. Every play, every challenge, and every win fuels his hunger to get better and chase greatness.
His Father (myself). My strength, sacrifice, and constant support pushes him to give his all every day. I teach him to stay humble, work hard, and never settle. On the court, he’s inspired by players who lead with heart and toughness—guys who outwork everyone and make their team better. Off the court, it’s all about character, discipline, and making those around him better, just like his Father does for him.
Being a Student/ Athlete Last year he not only put in the hard work of winning the District Championship but also applying the same work ethic in the classroom & making Honor Roll.
