What my child loves most about basketball is the freedom, focus, and joy it brings. He loves the challenge, the growth, and how the game rewards hard work. From watching tutorials to changing his diet, he’s committed to improving. Basketball has taught him confidence, resilience, and purpose. It’s more than a sport to him—it’s where he feels most alive, driven, and truly himself.
My child is inspired by Stephen Curry—not just for his skill, but for his work ethic, humility, and heart. Curry proves that you don’t have to be the biggest to be the best—you just need discipline, belief, and love for the game. Off the court, my child is inspired by his mom, who pushes through challenges daily and never gives up. Both show him that greatness comes from dedication, not shortcuts.
The proudest moment was when my child, despite asthma, played an entire game without asking to come out—focused, strong, and confident. After months of solo training, diet changes, and learning the game, he hit the game-winning shot. The coach praised him, not just for the basket, but for his growth. That moment showed his resilience, heart, and how far he’d come. It wasn’t just a win—it was proof of his dedication.
