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

Being a leader, the physicality and doing the dirty work that no one else wants to do…rebounding!


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

He pulls inspiration from “no name” guys in high school who worked hard and “made” a name for themselves. All players who walked on to play college ball, succeeded and go pro.


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

I can’t single out one moment however I can say seeing his growth and maturity happen in real time. Seeing his true character change when faced with any sort of adversity. Poor attitude and bad body language are completely gone. He has a better mindset and understands what it takes to get the job done on & off the court.
