What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat they love most about their sport is how it is their therapy. Whether the world was taking him down or up he would always go to basketball.
People that inspire him are other athletes such as Jalen Brunson, and Kobe Bryant. He studies Jalen off his ability to score when being an undersized guard and his great footwork. He studies Kobe based off his mentality, work ethic, ability to score in any situation, motivate others around, and how much hours he put into the sport.
I am most proud of the fact that he doesn’t give up, he has faced many obstacles, but that hasn’t stopped him from being focused. he has goals and is determined to reach them.
