Homegrown basketball has had a significant impact in my development as a player. Increasing my IQ, skills, and overall attitude towards the game. They have provided me with the confidence i needed to boost my skills on the court. they’ve helped me reach lifetime goals and aspirations i thought i wouldn’t reach.

I started playing basketball when i 4, watching my dad play inspired me to pick up the ball and start playing myself. At the time Derrick Rose was in his prime, i would also watch him play basketball on youtube and that’s another big factor of what drew me to the sport of playing. Just seeing the way he moves and controls the game and takes over the game as well. Knowing that he’s not the tallest or strongest but is still dominating the league. That’s something i always try to inherit into my style of play.

Goal setting is a really big thing I’ve implemented into my life and as well as reflections. reflecting on what you did well in and what you can impress skill wise and physically is a really big part on how you can succeed and better yourself for the next season. reflecting enables you to set clear goals that are well achievable within the offseason. Maintaining and improving in all areas physically and skill wise is another big factor
