Athlete Comments & Reviews
“We love to visit new places!”
“Our players love playing basketball, but they also love travel so this is an opportunity to marry those things together.”
“They are absolutely smashing it!”
“It’s so incredible to see what people are capable of way beyond their younger years into later on in life. You see it here in these international competitions as well; who are so fast, they are not just participating, they’re absolutely smashing it. Across so many different sports. People are incredible with what they’re achieving.”
“First time after having a baby”
“I wanted a challenge, something to work towards and it’s my first competition after having a baby so I wanted to see what I can do.”
