Vice President Kamala Harris made a visit to Philadelphia, where she met with youth basketball players at the Alan Horwitz Sixth Man Center. This marked her fourth stop in the city as the election looms just nine days away.
The players shared their recent experiences, including a loss they faced last weekend, and the valuable lessons they learned from it. Harris took the opportunity to offer words of inspiration and advice to the young athletes.
Addressing the players, Harris expressed pride in their efforts and encouraged them to approach life with the same determination they bring to the basketball court. She emphasized the importance of teamwork and support, likening it to the camaraderie found in sports.
During the conversation, the group also delved into topics such as middle school and academics. Harris urged the kids to view their brains as muscles that need exercise to grow stronger. She emphasized the significance of education and continuous learning.
“It’s a muscle and when you exercise it, it gets stronger,” Harris remarked, highlighting the importance of mental development and academic pursuits.
The meeting with the youth basketball players provided a platform for Harris to connect with the younger generation, offering guidance and motivation as they navigate their academic and athletic journeys.
