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

Zayden enjoy the love he gets on game day showcasing his talent after putting in work on practice days and hard training sessions. The challenges, creativity, competition, and perfecting his craft all makes Zayden love the game of basketball.


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

Besides the greatest to ever shoot Stephen Curry and elite point guard Kyrie Irving, Zayden’s dad story inspired him. Zayden’s dad had a scholarship to go D1 to Nebraska Omaha and didn’t take the offer because things happened in life. Hearing how much he wanted to play basketball on a higher level, Zayden inspired to make that happen for him.


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

His leadership and dedication for his team is amazing to watch. Witnessing him putting his team first, communicating constantly, setting a high standard with his work ethic and lifting everyone around him is breathtaking.
