Jaylin Fleming knows a thing or two about hard work.
Not only has he cemented his place as the top 11-year-old basketball player in the nation, but he’s done so while also balancing an emerging acting career and his schoolwork. Jaylin showcased a little of all his skills with Triple Threat in April at Doolittle Elementary in Chicago.
A group of more than 30 elementary-aged kids watched Jaylin’s now-famous basketball moves and also asked him questions about his personal life.
Jaylin emphasized that he got where he is today through hard work and dedication. He told students to respect their parents, pursue their dreams and put their schoolwork ahead of all else.
We’ll be working more with Jaylin in the future, so be on the lookout for more out of this awesome young man. Also, check out this news piece WGN did on Jaylin when he was out with Triple Threat at Doolittle!
