History made. 👏🏽🏀
A huge congratulations to Alan Shi on being recognized as the first Asian-American basketball player to sign with Overtime Elite (OTE) and earn a Division I opportunity.
This achievement is about much more than basketball. It’s about breaking barriers, representing a community, and proving that hard work, sacrifice, and belief can open doors that many thought were impossible.
From countless hours in the gym to competing against some of the best talent in the country, Alan has continued to raise the standard while staying humble, hungry, and focused on the next challenge.
At 6’10”, with the skill set of a guard and the mindset of a worker, Alan’s journey is just getting started.
As your trainer, mentor, and representative, I couldn’t be more proud. But more importantly, I’m grateful to call you a friend. Watching your growth on and off the court, navigating the ups and downs, and seeing you continue to chase your dreams with humility and determination has been an honor. The basketball accomplishments are incredible, but the person you’ve become is what makes me most proud.
Keep inspiring the next generation. Keep breaking barriers. Keep proving what’s possible.
The best is yet to come. 💪🏼🌎🏀
