Basketball, video games, coaching

Basketball is a lifelong hobby of mine. Been playing ever since I was 3 years old. It is one day my dream to become an NBA Data Analyst. I love studying the game of basketball and explaining it to people. Hence, my love for coaching children. I normally volunteer at my old high school, helping to develop the next generation. I use video games as a way to release stress and enjoy myself in my free time. Whether it be watching live streams or playing on my own console.
