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

He loves the fact that he can just be himself, and work with his boys to beat another team. Jaysiah also uses basketball to escape his everyday, he doesn’t think about school or any outside distractions.


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

He loves the leadership and on court Preformance of Christ Paul, and the off court charity of LeBron James. As a small guard he identifies with CP and admires his leadership on the court. Jaysiah also has a big heart, as a kid he use to take pictures of homeless people and when I asked him what is he doing? He said I want to remember where they are so can come back and bring them food and money. He was about 7 years old with that train of thought.


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

The fact that my son always plays up, in the world of reclassing, he has stayed the course. He has been playing a year up and never gives up. He adjust his game and works harder than everyone else.
