Join the CompetitionWhat my son loves most about the game is everything—from the smell of the court to the feel of the ball in his hands. He thrives on the energy of the crowd, the bond with his teammates, and the mental focus the game demands. He respects the grind, the sweat, and the lessons learned through every play. Most of all, he understands that one play never defines the outcome—and he’s committed to giving his all, fighting until the final second, no matter what.
He’s inspired by his single mother, who created a path even when one wasn’t visible. Her strength and sacrifice taught him resilience. His father, who only came to one game in his life, showed him the kind of parent he never wants to be. And his grandmother, who always had a listening ear, taught him the power of love, patience, and presence. Together, their influence fuels his drive on and off the court.
The moment that made me the proudest was after a tough loss, when he stood tall and reminded his teammates to hold their heads high. In that moment, he showed true leadership, maturity, and heart proving that character matters just as much as the scoreboard.
