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

With karate its the forms and weaponry...as for basketball he's improving his craft, learning the posts, mind and body control, teamwork, respect


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

He loves Donovan Mitchell! He literally studies the game of basketball. His mom, grandmother and his supportive village are there every step of the way to help redirect and strengthen when needed.


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

He keeps going!! There was a moment where he was playing in a game of basketball. He had a teammate (young lady) who was afraid to receive a pass. Jrue not only passed her the ball, but set the screen to where she was not only able to get to the basket, but she scored! The whole gym erupted. Definitely a proud mom moment. That's what its all about, uplifting another.
