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

What i love most about playing basketball is the competition, the feeling of improving brightens my mood and makes me feel like im getting better everyday.


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

My parents inspires me on AND off the court because they work so hard to get everything that I need, and I’m super grateful for them. Oh and Kobe Bryant.


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

The athletic moment that makes us the proudest is the moment Xavier started believing in himself on and off the court! When he first started playing, he was always in his head and doubting himself! Once he started focuses more and believing in himself, it showed.. and THAT makes me proud!
