JACOB FRENCH

My name is Jacob French. LTD has played a major role in my walk with Christ. I was first introduced to LTD during my college playing days. I was able to compete in the DREAM LEAGUE and then became a member of the LTD Men’s team once my college career ended. This allowed me to develop not only as a player, but in my relationship with Jesus. In 2018, I was able to pursue my dream of playing professional basketball.

I remained active with LTD during my two professional seasons. In the Summer of 2019, I participated in LTD’s International Tour to the Dominican Republic. Being part of these opportunities has allowed me to further develop my faith and learn how to deal with the challenges of life.

In the Summer of 2020, in the midst of an already challenging time (COVID), I tore my Achilles tendon playing basketball. Like so many, I battled through depression during the rehabilitation process. I know that God truly helped me and my family make it through that tough season of my life.

Now, I see God revealing my true gifts by helping use my talent and passion for the game of basketball to impact the lives of younger generations. My faith now plays a role in everything I do.
