Most Memorable Season: My most memorable season in my Basketball career so far is my first full season with the Arrows men squad. It was a good season, with a good team and great chemistry throughout. The team were able to finish 4th in Division 1, and semi-final appearances in the Trophy and the Playoffs. This season great pride and confidence as I had been training with the Arrows men’s team for 3 years (15 years old) and it gave me a great feeling of achievement.

 

Biggest Advice to Young Players of the Future: Perseverance is a major key to any success in Basketball. You can come into form as quickly as you can fall out of it. If you work hard at training and put all your effort into the match, you should be able to improve.
