Hi @hoopforchange @stathamacademy @ademeba.usa @stgensbball family 🙏🏼What started as a last minute invitation the night before @ademeba.usa all star game to help fill in for some coaches who cancelled last minute, was the example of staying ready so you don’t have to get ready. Ended up helping coach 3 all star games of the best Mexican American talent California had to offer. 🇲🇽🌟Without risk, without investment monetarily and time wise, without trust and consistent loyalty, reaching levels like representing the USA at the Jr. Mexico Olympics in Guadalajara Mexico are not possible. We had the initial goal of coming home with gold, but with many of us being our 1st time competing internationally, didn’t anticipate / couldn’t adjust quick enough to the level of physicality allowed by home Mexican states compared to the favoritism whistle given to Mexican teams as opposed to Mexican Americans coming from Los Angeles. Even won our 2nd game, but the other team paid, protested, that the jerseys given to us by the home state Jalisco & @conadeoficial , were the only team in the entire tournament to not have numbers in the front. Due to such a ridiculous coincidence, the home state team we beat Jalisco paid to protest, and robbed our families of the win, and opportunity to advance to compete for gold. An extremely unfortunate situation our @ademeba.usa family found ourselves in, but like any unfortunate unforseen circumstances that happens to us in life, we can’t control what happens to us, but we chose to show these kids and families how to react to situations we can’t control. We chose to play our last game against eventual gold medalists Baja California amidst adversity, and gave the @conadeoficial Olympics 2025 the best game of the tournament, ultimately falling 92-96. Although we didn’t get the result we wanted, everyone grew so much more this week. Excited for the future of our program moving forward, learning from what we went through, not quitting, and continuing to provide opportunities otherwise not possible through our communities for the future generations ! 🇲🇽🌟✈️🥇🙏🏼🏀@lb_coachv @coachjfcov @aaronmezaphoto @coachgnat @rommel_pacheco by @hoopforchange

@hoopforchange down as many as 15 to start this game, down by 2 with 3 seconds to go in game. Timeout. The ability to listen, take direction, execute under pressure as 8,9,10 year olds is EXTRAORDINARY HERE to tie the game up and send into overtime, where the boys and girls won by 2, to take the programs record to 4-0 on the day with 18 boys and girls coming to compete, learn, grow, and support one another! Thank you to all the parents and families who come support! We may not all play to our best potential, but like in life, how do we react when we don’t get what we expected? Do we cry? Complain? Talk bad about others? Or do we make the best of every situation life throws at us? Do we work harder for what we want in life? 🔥🌟🏆🙏🏻💜📈🧪Thank you again to all of the families who trust we want nothing more than to see your babies grow and succeed! There is no success without a little adversity! Excited to continue to grow tomorrow with 12U, 14U, & 17U! @hoopforchange 🔥🎥🌎🏀 by @hoopforchange

@hoopforchange 11U Sunday 6.14.26 played Paul George Elite 11U down to the wire in a 2 possession contest that had our boys fall just short 42-48. An amazing effort against one of the best programs in the nation from an NBA All-Star, our boys showed they are not far off from one of the best AAU programs in the world. With a bit more practice and chemistry, our boys soon will be at the top of any profession they choose! Hooping to change our lives! @hoopforchange 🎥🌟📈🧪🔥 @jaipatel07 by @hoopforchange
