Where It All Started
Ochai’s journey began on the courts of Kansas City, where coaches, mentors, and teammates shaped not only his game, but his character. The foundation was born from a deep gratitude for those early experiences and a desire to give others the same chance to grow.
Giving Back with Purpose
Now a professional athlete, Ochai is using his platform to empower the next generation. Through mentorship, access to sports, and community support, he’s helping kids build confidence, stay focused, and believe in their future, on and off the court.
