Basketball is his passion. He trains hard, supports teammates, embraces learning, and competes fearlessly despite his size.
Thank you for supporting Elijah in this competition. Your participation made a huge impact for the Why Not You Foundation and their mission to empower change in the world, one individual at a time and one child at a time.
What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreI love shooting and running. I love playing with my team and helping each other get better. I love being challenged by them and I love when they cheer me on. I want to be an inspiration to others. I want to show them that no matter how small you are, you can work hard to achieve greatness.
My dad. He is a really good coach. He is the one who taught me to keep on going, even if it’s hard. He always helped me figure out what sports I like. He is such a good dad. He stands up for me and teaches me a lot.
Elijah is the smallest kid on the court, by far, but you wouldn’t know it with how big and how hard he plays. He works hard every day. Even if he is sick, he’s putting in the work. I’m proud of how he wants to be great, but be a great teammate at the same time.
