What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe competition, the hard work that you have to put in to get better and better every day!! the learning experiences from all coaches and trainers, and definitely the camaraderie with all their teammates and helping them get better and better as they do as well!! and having the knowledge of knowing that they will have more losses than wins, but after losses, they quickly learn what needs to be done in order to win more than losing!!
They both said their parents!! the way the both of us have completely sacrificed for them in order for them to achieve their goals no matter if it’s long days in the gym, shooting the basketball in order to get better or long days in the weightlifting session in order to get stronger and faster or the cost of the fees for these sessions, including team fees and or flights hotel stays anything that involves of making sure that their dreams are one day met
He only actually been playing organized basketball for three years now and I would say the proudest moment for me is when they were in the sixth grade and they lost the championship game and they both began to cry and it was devastating for myself but after the pain went away, they both said come next year. We will do whatever it takes to get better and win the championship I’m best believe they did not only once but twice back to back middle school champions, and one of the twins was MVP
