What he loves most about playing basketball is the sound of the ball, the way it feels when he plays, and the opportunities the sport can give him. He also loves the person it can help him become teaching him discipline, confidence, dedication, and how to keep pushing himself to become better.
He says his mom inspire him the most. He sees how hard she work every day, working a full-time job while also running her own full-time cleaning business to provide a good life for him. He sees her dedication, sacrifice, and determination, and it motivates him to work hard toward’s his own goals, and never give up. He always says I’m going to make it and live my dream and ball out and take care of my family.
One moment that makes me proudest is watching my son continue to push himself and never give up, even when things get challenging. Seeing how much he has grown not only as an athlete, but as a young man makes me incredibly proud. His dedication, determination, and willingness to keep working toward his goals remind me that success isn’t always about winning; it’s about perseverance, growth, and giving your best.
