Isaiah Kennedy
Founder
Reflecting on my basketball journey, I am proud to have been recognized as a top player in the country coming out of high school. This recognition fueled my passion and led me to compete at the collegiate level, where I honed my skills and understanding of the game. A highlight of my career was playing internationally in Ghana and competing in the FIBA games, which expanded my perspective and connected me with a global basketball community.In 2021, I hosted my first camp with DoItDifferent, designed as a combine to equip young athletes with essential skills while educating their parents about opportunities in basketball. This initiative was deeply fulfilling, allowing me to share my knowledge with the next generation of players. My collaboration with Sweat Equity in 2019 to run a skills combine was another key milestone dedicated to developing young talent in my community. Currently, as a coach and trainer for the 15U team at ProSkills San Antonio, I focus on helping these athletes aspire to play at the next level. Mentoring them is incredibly rewarding, and I am excited to continue nurturing their growth and inspiring them to chase their basketball dreams.
