Jaden's Story

My passion is basketball.

Basketball became my passion when I was a little kid. I always loved the sport growing up but as I got older, I began to take the sport more seriously. Trying out for different teams and not making them motivated me to work on my game daily. In middle school, I played for my school team unaware of what my potential could be. I dedicated myself to doing pushups, sit-ups, and going to the gym. When I got into high school, things changed, the game was more intense and faster. I had to commit myself daily. Now, I it has become something that I do every day.

I will develop my passion for basketball by attending Nike Basketball Camp. This will help me because I will be playing basketball on a different level. Also, I will be playing against different people and experiencing competition every day. Having great coaches with experience is a benefit because it will allow me to learn from the best of the best. Lastly, participating in this camp will help me gain confidence by proving to myself that wherever I go, I can play to the best of my ability.

A Note from Mr. Bair, Jaden's Teacher

"Jaden is always the first player to change into his uniform and the last one to take it off. He hustles in practice and he focuses in games. He has a hunger to improve, not just for himself, but for his whole team. Jaden is committed to basketball with a maturity that is rare among people his age. While it is quite common for young people to see the sport as a tool for self-promotion, Jaden approaches each practice and game with focus and humility, seeking to honestly improve his own performance, and, in so doing, the performance of his teammates. I believe that working with Wishbone and Nike Basketball Camp will encourage Jaden to strengthen his commitment to self-improvement both on and off the court and give him new tools to maximize his natural gifts and overcome his weaknesses."
