Ever watch a high school basketball game and wonder about the life of the player dribbling the ball down the court? Meet AJ, a high school hoops star with a story that weaves through the sport, high school heartbreak, learning to swim during a pandemic, and dreams of becoming a software engineer. His journey to the team wasn’t a simple one but with a little help from our hosts very own, Justin, AJ overcame his fears and laced up his shoes. Tune in as we recount his transformation and growth on and off the court.

High school is more than just studies and sports; it's about making memories, forming friendships, and surviving breakups. Listen to how AJ used basketball as a springboard to expand his social circle, navigated a tough breakup, and even managed to teach himself to swim during the pandemic. Every high schooler has that one moment they hold dear - for AJ, it's a crowning achievement that paints a full-circle view of his journey. 

AJ's hopes and dreams aren't confined to the basketball court. As he dreams of making it to collegiate basketball, he simultaneously nurtures an interest in software engineering. But how does one decide between two drastically different paths? Tune in as we explore AJ's future plans, his dream college, and how his father inspires his software engineering aspirations. We wrap up with light-hearted banter on our favorite songs, Instagram accounts, and AJ's anticipation for the upcoming home varsity game. Discover the inspiring journey of a high-school basketball player who's much more than meets the eye.
