All the hours of practicing free throws taught Drew the importance of hard work, both on the court and in the classroom. The Hoop Shoot grew Drew’s love for basketball so much that, even though he currently plays collegiate basketball, he still talks about all the amazing memories he made as a two-time National Finalist.
Advice for National Finalists: Not everyone gets the opportunity to go to the National Finals and live that basketball dream. Don’t be down on yourself if you don’t win, you already won in your family and friends’ eyes. Be proud of yourself and push yourself even more.
