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

At just 12 years old, my son has developed a basketball IQ well beyond his age. He truly understands the game, studies it, and plays with a level of maturity that sets him apart from his peers. His passion for basketball is evident in everything he does—from the first whistle to the final buzzer.


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

Hisself. He knows he is on his own legacy path. As he watches people in LeBron James Catlin Clark Kendrick Williams. He taking a piece of there hard work and dedication and trying to apply it to his everyday life and morale.


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

He plays in a lot of AAU TOURNAMENTS. But this one specific game is when he leading the full court press. He will the team back down 15 point in the 2nd half also just with the defensive pressure and presence. End up coming on top and winning the game it was the pure leadership and dedication to will the team back. While other gained accolades for scoring he keep his head on and played true basketball the little stuff that don’t count. But it’s countless games in this level style of play.
