The countless hours Hannah spent in her hometown gym led her to two Elks Hoop Shoot National Finals, and it gave her something more important than any trophy: grit. Hannah no longer plays basketball, but she still relies on the lessons she learned from the program every day. As a member of the BackBoard, she hopes to make a difference in the lives of competitors, just like the BackBoard did for her.
Advice for National Finalists: See it. Feel it. Trust it.
