Hailing from Louisville, KY, and growing up around basketball inspirations in his family, with also his mother being an athlete and his trainer sometimes, Ja’Monti Wright understood what it really takes to become a powerful athlete. He began taking basketball seriously in the 6th grade but did not get selected in the basketball team at Myzeek Middle School in Louisville, KY, because he turned in his school physical paperwork after the deadline and was also overweight. This was one of his first failures in life, but he took up strength and conditioning training, with basketball training every day to get in top shape for the game. He was also involved in fights with bullies as a kid and was the tough guy who would defend his friends.

His journey began in his 7th grade basketball season, where he ended up hitting the winning shot against his rivals, proving his excellence in the game. His often aggressive nature on the court as a player made others call him the ‘dog’. His passion and prowess in the game helped him to move to North Carolina to attend The Word of God Christian Academy, which many other notable NBA stars attended. Here, Ja’Monti Wright scored over 40 points in the couple of games he played.

Also, he confesses that prior to his 9th grade basketball season, he was invited to visit Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida, where he got the opportunity to join the basketball team and got accepted in the Montverde Academy. However, his mother had some inhibitions whether he would be able to live in a college campus style environment and took him back to their hometown, where he attended high school.

Ja’Monti Wright knew that failing or not making goals is a part of the basketball game, but he also believed in learning through these failures and life challenges. He says that these challenges can test people’s patience, but working with determination can even turn an ordinary player into a phenom like him. As a young basketball player from the US, Ja’Monti Wright now wants to be known in the NBA and make a name worldwide.
