Kobe also shared an inspiration post about having the “Mamba Mentality”: “The story of #Wizenard was greatly inspired by the coaches I’ve had and the lessons they taught me throughout my life. Therefore, I’m proud to present the #WizenardCoachAward to four #MambaLeague coaches who are doing exemplary work in transforming the lives of students and have become a catalyst for enhancing growth and development in others. Congrats to coaches Elisha, April, Q, and Alphonso. You’ve shown great commitment in teaching not just athletic, but social and emotional skills to the next generation.”

He added:
“Like Q said, “the best part about being a coach is seeing the growth and development from the players when they first walk in the gym. Being a coach, mentor, teacher, and leader to the players on my team is what I love the most.” 💪🏾 🏆#MambaMentality.”
