From a young age, he showed an interest in sports and began playing center, as he was taller than his teammates. However, as he grew older, he realized that his slender build and lesser jumping ability put him at a disadvantage against larger and stronger opponents. Instead of giving up, he decided to analyze his strengths and completely changed his playing style and position, becoming a specialist in shooting and outside shooting. To achieve this, he established a strict routine: every day, after team practices, he would practice up to 500 consecutive shots to perfect his technique. Thanks to this dedication, he became the most valuable player and top scorer in his prefecture, averaging 30.6 points per game and leading his team to become one of the best in the region.
