Morgan Oropeza: “Quiet Confidence”
Morgan arrived at Champion’s QUEST over 3 months ago and she is not only improving, but she is improving at an alarming pace. Morgan is 10 years old, very smart, works hard and loves the game of basketball. Morgan does not say much when she’s at Champion’s QUEST but she is focused, understands her goals and most importantly, displays a quiet confidence that is only seen in her eyes. “ The eyes are a window to the soul”—Anonymous
She came to Champion’s QUEST to develop 3 goals: basketball skills, her knowledge of the game and her agility. In addition, to achieving success in these 3 goals her overall athleticism grew over an incredible +595%. This growth equates to the athleticism of High School Freshman and remember, Morgan is still 10 years old. These results are a combination of support from her family, her commitment to being the best and her desire to excel during BASE clinics, private lessons and her favorite, basketball performance sessions.
Below are Morgan’s Top 5 performance scores:
Linear Speed: Initial: 12.28 seconds Current: 8.65 seconds
Lateral Speed: Initial: 11.71 seconds Current: 9.56 seconds
Acceleration Speed: Initial: 2.21 seconds Current: 1.95 seconds
Core Strength Plank Hold: Initial: 42 seconds Current: 4:00 minutes
Vertical Jump: Initial: 12.5” Current: 14.5”
Morgan’s exceptional athleticism and basketball skills will continue to grow each and every year, but what makes Morgan special is her ability to be both quiet and confident. Quiet confidence is a great description of Morgan because her actions truly speak far louder than words. Morgan, always work hard, believe in your abilities and keep your quiet confidence. I am so proud of you and congratulations on your success!!!!
