About Me

I’m a high school student athlete (varsity basketball) in Brooklyn, NY and I’ve spent years inside the world of youth sports. Along the way, I realized something important: athletics develop far more than athletic skill. They shape leadership, resilience, teamwork, confidence, and decision-making, traits that matter long after the final buzzer.They also reveal something about opportunity. Access, cost, and visibility shape who gets to develop, who gets recognized, and who gets left out. Those dynamics mirror the real world: internships, careers, and professional environments where potential doesn’t always equal opportunity.

My writing explores youth athletics not as a path to college scholarships or championships, but as a development system for life beyond the court.My goal is to bridge athletics and the real world. I examine how the lessons, inequities, and structures in youth sports reflect the markets and workplaces young people will enter.If you’re an athlete, a student, a coach, a parent, or someone who believes sports can prepare leaders for more than the game itself, I’m glad you’re here.
