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

What I love most about basketball is the feeling of being on the court and giving everything I have. I love the competition, the excitement, and the way every game pushes me to improve. Basketball has taught me discipline, teamwork, confidence, and how to keep going even when things get tough. Most of all, I love the memories I make with my teammates and the feeling of chasing my goals.


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

Kevin Durant inspires me because of his dedication, skill, and determination to keep improving. He shows me that success comes from hard work, staying focused, and believing in yourself. I admire how he handles challenges and continues to compete at a high level. Watching his journey motivates me to work harder on my basketball skills, learn from my mistakes, and never give up on my goals.


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

Playing hard until the final buzzer, regardless of the score. Marcelo gives his all every game, win or lose!
