My Adventure

I am currently attending Lucentum Basketball Academy in Alicante, Spain. I just transferred here from Elche Basketball Academy. I started playing basket ball in the Swedish club Södertälje Basketball Klubb, outside of Stockholm.

The reason for me being here in Spain is to realize my dream of playing college basketball in the US. Spanish basketball is known to be one of the best schools within developing basketball IQ and I hope that the knowledge that I’ll gain here will put me in the position to compete in the highest collegial level.

I come from a big basketball family. My parents, uncles and aunt have all played professional and have participated in the Swedish National Team programs. My mom and dad also played D2 college in the states while my uncle brice went to prep school and played college basketball at UNLV. My parents have also coached a lot through out the years so I have always spent a lot of time in the gym.

I live in a 5 bedroom apartment with a few other academy players. When I am not in the basketball gym or lifting weights, I typically have online classes for school. This fall is my first year of highschool (in a three year highschool system) in the Swedish educational system. I will, however, not start my classes, until the spring of 2026 because there are only so many slots for the online courses, for students living an abroad, and they filled up really fast. I will be spending my time, in between practices, with Spanish classes, preparing of the courses that are to come (by reading ahead), reading my books, catching up with the friends and family back home and  hanging with my new team mates.

I have 5 siblings and all of them play basketball. You could say that I carry the torch for this active bunch. Being the path finder is an inspiration. I also try to use the inspiration by giving back to younger teams and players, by telling them about my journey and trials or helping out with individual workouts. Hopefully I can inspire others to go for their dreams as well.
