Coach Lefurgy coached me for 7 years throughout elementary and high school and was one of the biggest reasons I reached a high level in basketball. I would have never played for the national team, at the university level, and at the professional level if it wasn't for his tireless commitment to making me a better basketball player and human in my key developmental years. His knowledge and passion helped guide me on my basketball journey while relentlessly pushing me to get better day in and out on the court. His mentorship is the reason why I want to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher and coach basketball.
