What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreJacari enjoys the idea of being apart of something bigger than himself . Sports is therapeutic for him and winning is what he tries to do every game. Being apart of a team helps him grow stronger in brotherhood. I can honestly say that playing HS sports has helped him unlock that inner athlete allowing him to play multiple sports. He loves to win games.
I and his mother are the biggest asset in what he does. Both of were athletes who works hard at raising him and his siblings everyday. Kobe is his all time favorite athlete he’s always talking about how Kobe never gives in to the pressure and he trained all year long just like he does. He doesn’t care what season it is he’s suited up ready to play.
Jacari was struggling with his anxiety and grades at a point in school. We couldn’t understand why because he’s extremely smart, but he made the decision to take control of his emotions and found that inner strength to play sports more often. When Jacari found out he couldn’t play sports anymore because of his grades he went beast mode and began to bring his grades up extremely quickly. When you truly love something you will change to keep it and that what he did. He really makes us happy.
