“ In the beginning there were more downs than ups, but It all worked out in the end and kept on getting better. I learned a lot of wonderful new information. A shout out to the guest speakers that came. I want to say that this was a great part of my life and I never thought I could make a great business with the sport I enjoy the most, and I will continue doing WIT.”
— Axel R. - Founder of Afusball, Inc.
