Basketball
I am a Division-1 basketball mom and love this amazing sport! I raised my son playing basketball ever since he was three years old. I feel fortunate to have helped him navigate through this incredible journey of loving the sport and also learning about industry standards, maintaining strong grades and all the sacrifices it took to be a part of a prestigious Division I school which was our collective dream ever since he was little.
