 My life changed forever one particular day while working with KYDA and Coach Vic.  The high intensity setting and personal responsibility forced my mental toughness to grow exponentially and from that point on, I knew I could complete any task - physical or mental.

Today, I know KYDA's practices prepared me more for more than just basketball. Coach Vic taught me hard work and consistency in all circumstances.  This determination opened doors for me on the court and long after I stopped playing.

​Without KYDA and their coaches helping me unlock the potential I had within, I am not sure where I'd be today.  Truthfully basketball saved my life and I am forever grateful.

Coach Vic (KYDA) pushes his players to reach higher levels.  I had to learn to dig deep inside myself to realize my true potential. He constantly reinforced the importance of self-discipline and emotional control.
