I learned that when you are a kid and you see people doing your favorite sport or anything, you might say "I will never be able to do that," but someday you might be able to! You never know, someday I may be the best basketball player!

I learned that strongman competitions
can be very dangerous. I think that the life lesson he taught us is that no matter how old or how young or even about how much you weigh it still counts to be you and that you can play anything or do anything you want to do. I am interested in basketball but everyone says I should play football, but you taught me to believe in myself. I am passionate about basketball.
