WHY FENIX?
“Basketball was always something I turned to whether I’d like to simply have fun or to overcome frustrating times. It was always something I knew I could rely on no matter what and being able to share my knowledge of basketball to others has given me so much more meaning. I want to be able to teach kids to understand how to become a better athlete by learning the foundations, first. I believe it’s important to develop good habits on the court in order to be able to fine tune various skills, and be fully ready to move on to the next level. Most importantly, I want kids to have fun and just enjoy playing because I’ve certainly learned a lot from the game, not just as an athlete, but also turning me into the person that I am today. Basketball has helped me appreciate things in life more and has given me the opportunities to step out of my comfort zone. Nothing is more fulfilling than being able to share my passion with others, especially having the opportunity to teach and coach doing what I love most.”
