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

I love playing basketball because it’s where I feel most alive. It pushes me, clears my mind, and brings out my passion. I love the energy, the teamwork, the grind, and that feeling when the ball hits the net—nothing compares.


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

LeBron James inspires me both on and off the court because of his unmatched work ethic, leadership, and the way he carries himself with confidence and purpose. On the court, he’s more than just one of the greatest players of all time—he’s a team-first leader who makes everyone around him better. His ability to dominate the game with skill, IQ, and passion shows what’s possible when talent meets dedication.


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

One moment in your athletic basketball journey that makes me proudest is when you pushed through adversity and proved your heart on the court—whether it was playing through pain, leading your team when no one else stepped up, or staying locked in when things got tough. That moment showed your strength, not just as an athlete, but as a leader. It wasn’t just about scoring points; it was about showing resilience, focus, and passion when it mattered most. That’s what champions are made of.
