“My dad is one of my greatest motivations because he is always pushing me to do my best and he taught me how to play basketball and going pro has always been a goal of mine. Also my coaches that have taught me a lot and have lead me throughout all of my basketball career so far. They are encouraging but hard on me and they have the best interest in mind for me and are constantly showing me new things and taught and continue to teach me how to become the best. But besides people all glory goes to God at the end of the day!” – Carly McCrum
