Bio

Since I was a little kid, sports really have been important to me and my happiness. Anytime I step on the court it's been my escape, everything going on is muted temporarily, all my worries, all my pain, you name it. Playing sports has enabled me to have a good mentality that made me work, just so I would improve in whatever I was doing. I must say, it has brought me a long way. The passion and determination is the very thing that drives me whether I'm on the court or dealing with a real life situations. Sports have made me the person I am today, and has taught me much more than dribbling a ball in between my legs, but more so the values and lessons that carry over to life itself. I was in high school, conference championship game. Late in the game we shut them down on defense and drove right down the court on them. We were down 33-31 but momentum was clearly on our side. This was a must win game! I took an extreme angle and passed the ball to my post running down the middle off the court. I had my eye on the ball and did a dead sprint down the right sideline, there was about 3.2 seconds left on the clock. As I approached the baselinel my post passes me the ball for the shot, shot goes in, crowd goes wild (home court), buzzer sounds. We then advanced to the next round.
