How it started...
Performance With U began just as an idea in high school. Throughout my high school years, I have witnessed and experienced challenges that, at the time, I felt impossible to overcome. One of the most significant challenges was losing our family’s home, a place of stability and comfort. This occurred during pivotal moments, such as transitioning into my Sophomore Year, where the academic workload began to increase, preparing myself for fall athletics, which was more difficult after coming off a severe head injury. Despite it all, I remained faithful and hopeful through prayer and persistence. With the support I received during a challenging time, I discovered that opportunity was what I made of it. I began to explore and challenge ideas that came to mind. That was when I discovered the “What if “? What if a platform can be created to support those chasing a dream of their own? To offer the strongest support possible, as I have received through my school’s chaplain, counselor, and basketball coach. I will always remain rooted in athletics and all the lessons I have learned throughout my lifetime, which have instilled the discipline and mental fortitude in me to reach beyond my mental capacity to serve others and help them achieve their desires. Here we are now, going through another journey again, but this time from a different lens. Forging a vision of creating a community where the overall person can be strengthened and feel confident to perform to the best of their ability. What was once a thought is now an endless pursuit to continue one of the missions God has given to me. We all have the potential to be great. Stay the course, remain faithful, and trust you will reach where you need to be.
