“During my youth AAU basketball propelled me into the spotlight on a national level. Most importantly, I remember the various coaches and mentors who dedicated their time to teach and train me to improve on and off the court. The countless sacrifices and guidance from my parents along with the support of these individuals has compelled me to pay it forward to the youth today.” ~T.Kay
