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

Jacob loves to compete, he has a passion to win. He loves learning the game from coaches, older players and teammates. He loves to be in the gym, either practicing or playing games. Everyday he is either watching, playing or talking about basketball.


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

If you asked Jacob he would say his dad inspires him. His dad played and Jacob watched old games of his dad and wants to live up to him. His Dad has coached him since he was 8. But his dad and I both know Jacob is better than he was at this age, but we don't tell Jacob.. Shhhhhh.


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

Its very early in jacob journey with basketball he has gotten MVP accolades, player of the games and championship trophies, but at age 9 he hit a game winning buzzer beater in a semi final game and jump into his father's arms, that was breathe taking.
