When the athletes were shooting around for the first time I immediately noticed a kid making every shot from far out of three point range. His name is David Cruz.

After watching his sharp-shooting, I decided to challenge myself and play a one on one game with him. Not surprisingly he beat me, and throughout the game he made tough shots. He wasn’t any easier on other defenders.

He played every week of the Good Sport Nation program. We share the love of sports and competing — and many Athletes and Peer Coaches do — and now we’re close friends.
