Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Sports in schools across our country were crippled due to the global pandemic. Now, we are finally seeing team sports being welcomed back in places like New York City. My middle school athletes can’t wait to step back on the court and compete.

As team sports make a come back, I am so excited to be able to work out with players again after 2 long years of no competitions.

In order to help them best prepare for our upcoming season, I am looking to increase the quality of their training. The practice jerseys will help keep practices organized, while the Blaze Pods make an amazing tool for increasing speed and agility. The equipment will help give these students a feeling of training at a high level, which will hopefully motivate them to continue their athletic pursuits as they enter high school and beyond. This will not only help them to prepare for the season, but will give them additional motivation to attend school and do well in their classes.
