Blizzard 17U 

Hello, my name is Odear. I am 20 years old and have lived in the Austin area for most of my life. Throughout high school, I participated in football, basketball, track, volleyball, and theatre.

Last year, I had an incredible opportunity when Hunter and Trey, the owners of the Blizzard, asked me to coach some of their youth teams. I was surprised and honored, as basketball wasn’t my strongest sport, but it’s something I’ve always enjoyed. That experience turned out to be extremely rewarding—we finished second in multiple tournaments and grew a lot as a team.

I’m very excited to be invited back this year. My goal is not only to help develop better basketball players, but also to guide these kids in setting goals, working hard, and striving for greatness.
