Receive Text UpdatesJesse enjoys making friends while on basketball trips to the different villages he is able to travel to. He enjoys playing with his teammates and plays to have fun. He enjoys the competition and encourages his opponent to compete with him.
His Papa Albert R Williams inspires him. He heard that he was the best coach from other coaches and basketball players. He often encouraged him and gave him advice before and after his games. Sadly he passed away in May 2025. His Uncle Ethan also inspires him because before he graduated he was the leader of the team and a great basketball player. He taught him not to be scared of anything during the games and helped him with his shooting skills.
Jesse is capable of leading a team. Before his basketball journey he didn’t think he would have the courage to be able to lead a team and to help better his teammates. He often encourages them to shoot the ball and he often corrects his teammates mid game. Getting out of his comfort zone is what makes him proud. He was a very shy person and basketball helped him get out of his shell.
