From Coach: Joaquin is a true thinker of the game—very analytical in his approach, always eager to understand the small details and complexities that make a difference on the court. He is not only focused on skill work but also has put effort into developing his toughness and athletic ability, knowing that growth comes from pushing himself in every area. Defensively, he works hard every possession, prides himself on his effort, and has become one of the team’s best communicators, constantly talking, directing, and keeping his teammates connected. What makes him stand out even more is the type of teammate he is: supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in others’ success. He is always cheering from the bench, celebrating big plays, and uplifting his teammates during tough stretches. His positive energy and attitude are contagious, setting the tone for how the group interacts with each other.

Coachable and hungry to learn, he takes feedback with humility and immediately looks for ways to apply it. His improvement is a direct reflection of his curiosity and work ethic. Beyond his play on the court, he is also an amazing friend, someone teammates know they can trust and rely on. He truly loves being part of the team and embraces the role of helping to keep everyone connected. In many ways, he is the glue of the group—a player who strengthens not just the performance on the floor but also the bonds that make the team feel like family.
