What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe things he love most about playing sport are getting to dribble the ball, shoot, and compete with other players. He also loves how competitive the game is because it pushes him to work harder and become a better player.
I would say his biggest inspirations are his family and LeBron James. His family inspires him because they are always there to support and encourage him in everything he does. LeBron James inspires him because he looks up to him as one of the greatest basketball players in the world. He admires LeBron’s work ethic, dedication, and commitment to the game, and he often talks about wanting to follow his routines so he can continue to improve and become the best basketball player he can be.
One moment in my son’s athletic journey that makes me especially proud is seeing how much he has grown as a player. Watching him continue to work hard, stay competitive, and not give up when things get challenging reminds me how much dedication he has. I’m proud not only of the player he is becoming, but also of the confidence, teamwork, and determination he is learning along the way.
