Not only was I able to coach and train the extremely hardworking and talented children, but also create meaningful relationships with the kids which prompted me to do more than just on the court. We bonded over our mutual respect for each other and our will and dedication to our sport. There were days where there would be tears and sweat and days where we would dance and banter around. These kids taught me so much more than I could ever teach them through some guide or formatted training session. They taught me to celebrate the little wins and to fully enjoy the present, whether it was to spontaneously break into a dance or sing Marathi rain songs in hopes to cancel cardio days. All together Hi 5 is a family driven to spread positivity, knowledge and life skills through Basketball. I am deeply proud to have been able to get the opportunity to coach these children and work under the amazing Hi 5 team.
