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

it blends fast-paced action, creative self-expression, and deep social connection into a single game.Running up and down the court keeps his body moving and his energy high. The rhythmic bounce of the ball and the crisp swish of the net offers fulfillment for him. Sharing the ball and celebrating a teammate's success creates strong connections and bonds with him and his teammates


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

My parents are my inspiration. Watching them slave day in and day out, every sacrifice to put my siblings and I in position to be successful. They go days and nights without eating to make sure my siblings and i have enough to eat. Struggling to make ends meet. They are my inspiration.


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

His ability to place the team on his back and lead them to victory and sometimes defeat. But its the fact that he believes that his shoulders are broad enough to carry the team as a leader is my proudest moment
