MEET THE FOUNDER
NEKA JONES
Everyone has a story that shapes who they are, and mine began in the small town of Oakdale, Louisiana—a place where I dreamed big from a young age. I always aspired to make a positive impact on others, though I never imagined a small round object could help me achieve that goal. Basketball skill development and empowering others is my true passion! I started training at local parks—early mornings, long hours, and endless repetitions. It was there that I first saw the potential of my passion for basketball skill development. I began to envision something greater—more than just playing the game. I realized that through hard work, dedication, and a belief in myself, I could turn my dreams into reality and inspire others to do the same. That vision fueled my journey to start sharing my passion with others.
I’ve learned that with the right mindset, anything is possible. My purpose is to share these lessons and inspire others to believe in their own potential. GRIND DAILY!
