My basketball journey began over 20 years ago in a small club in Greece, alongside a few close friends from school. I was a tall, skinny kid with endless energy and a love for every sport. But it was one moment that changed everything—spending countless evenings at age 10, shooting into a handmade basket crafted by my grandpa. That hoop became my world.

The love for basketball truly sparked during my first official game. I can still feel the heartbeat, the adrenaline, and the rush of scoring my first basket. From that moment, I knew this wasn’t just a sport, it was my calling.

Driven by passion, I chased my dreams across Europe, competing in multiple countries, visiting over 90 cities, and experiencing more than 20 cultures. Basketball not only gave me a career, it gave me friendships for life and a deep respect for diversity and discipline.

This journey also led me to study Sports Science at Aristotle University, where I deepened my knowledge of athlete development. But more than that, it gave me the vision to create something meaningful: London Pro Ball Academy—a place where young players can grow their basketball skills, build character, and stay focused on a positive path.

Because I know firsthand how a ball, a hoop, and a little encouragement can change a life.
