My favourite basketball memory is in grade 10, so I was 16, when I hit the game winning shot to qualify for the 5-6 classification at world championships vs. Japan. It was a pivotal moment for me because it made me realize why I love the game, when the team jumped on me after the buzzer went, I realized, how much I not only loved basketball, but that it was so much more than that and can teach you so much more about life. In those final moments having composure, confidence and focus was key, and those are attributes that I gained through my experience with cadette and solidified in that moment. I will carry that moment with me for the rest of my life.
