Texidor to Laurel, Maryland?

                                                                                    How has your summer been?

Tomas Texidor is working hard to fulfill his dream.

It's been alright. The reason I say alright is because I haven't been to any camps at all, just tournaments. I'm grinding though, so I'll be at a few or plenty next Summer, no doubt about that. My game is improving quickly, and I've grown into a better, and mature person off the court.

What part of your game have you been working on the most?
I've really been working on playing more aggressive being with the position's that I play (Point Guard/Shooting Guard). Also, making better passes, and making sure they're 100% accurate.

What schools are you looking to attend?
Well, I leave August 11th to Laurel, Maryland to check out the schools down there, workout, and meet new people. Hopefully, I find the right school that's perfect for me, and that'll help my dream that I'm working hard to fulfill.

Aquille Carr is a dynamic player, what about his game makes him such a great player?
From my point of view, the thing that makes him such a great player is how confident he is on the court. He plays aggressive, and he's never afraid to takeover the game. He just has a big heart, at a small size. I feel watching him play could help my game in a major way, espescially because we are the same height right now. 

The Olympic teams have so many great players, which player inspires you?
Chris Paul, definetley. He's quick with the ball, throws flashy passes, and can shoot the ball when he feels the need to. Everyone on the USA Olympic team are great players of course, but he's the one who impresses me the most because he doesn't rush anything, he takes his time, and see's the floor very well.

What are your goals both athletically and academically?
My goals athletically is to become a better player, go all out my Sophmore year, and just give scouts and everyone else spectating my game something to talk about and stay watching my game for a while. My goals academically are to make Honor-Roll every term, and to stay focused on my school work. You can't get anywhere in life without good grades, so those are a must.

Any closing remarks:
I would like to give a shoutout to my uncle, Brett Givens, the one who is trying to make everything possible out there in Laurel, Maryland. Without him, none of this would be possible, so I just want to say thank you, and I love you. And I can't forget SoSportz! Shoutout to them for taking the time to interview me to see where I'm headed.

My names Tomas Texidor, I play basketball at Maloney High School in Meriden, CT and I'm a point guard.


What was your best game?
My best game was when I used to play for the Boys & Girls Club in Meriden, CT. But hopefully, I'll have great games throughout this season my other 3 years of high school.

Why are sports and education important to you?
Sports are important to me because I can be myself and it also opens a variety of opportunities for myself. Getting letters, meeting different hoopers all-around the world, showing coaches and scouts my skills, and just becoming a better person all-around. Education is important to me because I can't make it anywhere without it. Getting good grades is something I love doing. I'm keeping my teachers, parents, coaches, others, and myself proud.  School's always first, no matter what.

What can you do to make yourself better at your game?
I need to get faster, so that my crossovers and everything else will become way quicker than it is now. 

Who is your favorite player?
My favorite player is Russell Westbrook. He's fast, he can score when he needs to, and he could definitely drop dimes. He plays with heart, and confidence. He's definitely someone I look up to. 

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
Just work hard, and never give up on your dreams. Stay committed, and don't stop working. Even if you make it, never stop.

Any shout outs:
S/O to SoSportz! Thanks for everything!
