If you cannot afford to play, follow these steps.
Finding a sponsor takes passion, persistence, and patience. Not everyone will say yes, and that’s okay. Keep asking, keep sharing your story, and keep working toward your goals.
Players who stay committed, even when it’s difficult, are the ones most likely to find someone who believes in them and wants to support their basketball journey.
