It’s the passion behind getting the ball in his hand. It’s the never giving up, the confidence & knowing how to use your team on the court.

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

Basketball isn’t just a game to him it’s where his heart comes alive. The dedication, the passion, the long hours, multiple AAU teams… it’s about falling in love with the process.

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

He said God because with God anything is possible. With God he do not have to make all the shots but perfect passes, eyeing the whole court, insists, steals, rebounds are just important.

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

I love to see him pray before he steps on the court. I love to see when his confidence plays on the court. Him catching coaches eyes and started playing high school ball in 7th grade was a proud moment for me.
