the game

it's not about whether you win or lose, but it's all about how you played the game.

"Make each day your Masterpiece."-John Wooden

I heard the most famous, arguably the best basketball coach to ever live speak my sophomore year while playing on the basketball Varsity for San Gabriel Academy at the Pasadena Civic Center. He was the best coach not because of X's and O's but simpyl because he just carried on his philosophy of life onto the basketball court.

Basketball has been a passion of mine since I was a little boy playing basketball with my brother and his friends in the backyard. Memories playing with my friends on Saturday afternoons to winning championships in tournaments is something I reminsce about all the time, but what I cherish more is the life lessons it taught me about hard work, determination, teamwork, and never giving up. In a way, basketball and it's experiences has a big part in the person I am today.
