"Hoops Abroad: Help Me Chase the Dream"
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Zyquis. Basketball has always been my passion, but my journey hasn't been easy. I’ve always had a love for basketball, but I didn’t follow the traditional path. Growing up in South Bend, I spent every free moment shooting hoops at the local park, honing my skills. I never played high school basketball, but that didn’t stop me from dreaming big. Instead, I joined a community league where I played against older, more experienced players. My natural talent shone through, and word started spreading about this young guy who could hold his own on the court. I worked harder than anyone else, spending hours practicing my dribbling and shooting.
One day, a scout from a semi-pro team noticed me during a local tournament. Impressed by my skills and determination, the scout offered me a spot on the team. It was a huge opportunity! I jumped at the chance, knowing this could be his ticket to going pro.
Playing semi-pro was tough, but I thrived under the pressure. in my most recent season averaging 30.2PPG 5.6RPG 2.4APG 1.6APG shooting 47% from three and 57% from the field! I faced challenges, like adjusting to a faster pace and tougher competition, but I never backed down. My dedication and hard work caught the attention of international scouts, and soon enough, I received an offer to play overseas.
My journey showed that sometimes, the road less traveled can lead to incredible opportunities. With grit and determination, I, Zyquis, proved that you don’t need to follow the conventional path to achieve your dreams! Now, I've been offered an incredible opportunity to play basketball overseas. This is my chance to prove myself and take my game to the next level. However, I can't do it alone. I need your help to cover the costs of this journey. Any contribution, big or small, or even a share will bring me one step closer to achieving my dream. Thank you for your support!
