November Game Changer Spotlight: Braulio Ascencio

Braulio became involved with First Tee three years ago through our CAPS (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategies) program at his mother’s suggestion. He has since developed a passion for meeting new people, honing his golf skills, and engaging in fun and enriching field trips. One of his favorite activities is distance putting, where he not only works on his precision but also enjoys friendly competition with his teammates. Beyond improving his golf game, Braulio’s experience with First Tee has instilled in him a deeper appreciation for the values of balance and tempo, which have proven essential both in his swing and in navigating life’s challenges.

“Your ability to overcome challenges shapes your path to success in life, and First Tee taught me how to embrace that mindset on and off the course.”
