FiDonce Player Development

Growing up in a low socio-economic section of Chester, PA planted a burning desire in me to achieve greatness. Seeing the devastation of my community and a struggling mother trying to make ends meet made me feel responsible for making things better for me, my family, and the community around me. I realized at an early age that my best chance to pursue greatness and change my family's economic condition was to pursue basketball because playing the game came naturally to me. From the first time I watched a basketball game, it has always made more sense than anything else. I began learning and trying to perfect the game by studying greats like Dr. J and Michael Jordan. I played basketball throughout my younger years. Older individuals in the community began asking me to play and to coach their teams. I continued to play throughout high school and was a true standout, making city and state honors for multiple years.  Show less
