Jayden Salgado
Head coach and co-founder of Changas Basketball Academy.
Jayden has memories of playing basketball as far back as he can think.
He played for the National District tournament representing Dhaka, Premier league and Division-1 Basketball. When he was not playing basketball, Jayden met with success in entreprenuership; So we asked him what he thinks he could attribute his good qualities to.
This is what he had to say:
“One hundred percent I attribute it all the to discipline I gained playing professional basketball. Training was very hard – so that being proactive in other parts of life seemed very easy in comparison to showing up for practise!” – Jayden Salgado
