Who am I?
At the age of 5, basketball captivated my heart, beginning an extraordinary journey that ultimately changed my life. This deep connection with the game turned into an unwavering passion. I practiced everywhere, facing numerous challenges and setbacks. Despite often being the underdog, my commitment to improvement only became stronger.
Dedicating myself to rigorous training, I pushed beyond my limits. At 16, a daring choice led me to drop out of school, fully committing to my dream of becoming a professional player. The invaluable lessons from my mentors, to whom I owe deep gratitude, along with the unwavering spirit of Kobe Bryant, fueled my fire. Their influence was profound, embedding in me a simple yet powerful mantra that kept me moving forward: 'I CAN, I WILL, I MUST.'
Later, I decided to move to Denmark, where I played in the highest league while working full-time at a grocery store, doing what I can to survive and support my family back home. Amidst ups and downs, coaching became a revelation. Positive energy, connections, and endless drills transformed my trajectory.
As a player, team captain, and coach, I am deeply committed to the 'Dare to be more' philosophy. In 2021, setting an example with my own journey, I, together with my wife Franchesca, founded B3B Basketball Club in Copenhagen. We created a space that welcomes diversity and gender equality. Our club rapidly grew into a vibrant community of 450 members, actively participating in basketball events and social activities, all united by their love for basketball. This club isn't just about playing the game; it's a platform for growth, fostering positive energy and a sense of belonging among its members.
I share my journey online as @Ugispro, inspiring more than a quarter of a million people worldwide through my content and encouraging you to Keep Moving Forward.
