Leader. Competitor. Difference maker—and he's just getting started…
The story is writing itself. From driveway basketball goals in Tennessee to national tournaments and prep school academies in Arizona — every chapter of August's journey to date has been earned, not given.
Raised from infancy to believe his life was a predestined plan, August's narrative is one of deep-rooted faith, discipline, and relentless focus. From the very first touch it was obvious basketball wasn't a sport August chose to play—it would become a destiny he was born to fulfill.
Early mornings, empty gyms, and relentless reps nobody witnessed — August began building the foundation of his game in silence before anyone noticed.
The Grind
"My favorite basketball player of all time is Steph Curry…"— August Quinn Harris
Scroll through the pillars shaping and defining August’s path.
August counts time and paces the game differently than most. At times before the defense sets, he's already two moves ahead — threading passes into gaps others don't see until it’s too late.
From 3pt land to mid-range pull-ups, explosive drives to the rim, and clutch free throws. August doesn't chase points — they come as a byproduct of making the right read and seeing no limits.
Analytical thinking, predictive reads, quick hands, and calculated movements. August's defensive prowess separates him from being a scorer to a complete player contributing at both ends of the court.

Vocal in the huddle, calm under pressure, committed to every possession. August's leadership is felt within the energy he brings before, during and after every practice and game.
"I'm already a professional basketball player; I'm just not old enough to be in the league."— AUGUST QUINN HARRIS
Every season had a turning point. Scroll through the moments that changed everything.
At just 7, August stepped onto the court in and lead his team to a 42-4 victory. Of the 42 points his team scored, August scored 36pts. At least 24 of his 36pts came from August stealing the ball, running down court with it, passing the ball or making layups and shots. If he or another teammate would miss making a shot, August would go after the rebound, pass the ball or shoot again.
Averaging 20 points per game and 8 assists, from 2019-2022, August experienced a cluster of breakout seasons. In 3 of 4 consecutive years he lead his team to have 3 undefeated seasons, becoming a 3X champion and MVP.
CHECKING
In a world where so many young people are emotionally driven and controlled by click bait, likes, shares and ratings, August's reminder to himself is: "there will always be someone's opinion of me. From how I look, to how I play basketball; what I say, express, dress or even eat, there will always be opinions. What matters second to none is what God says. Not man. When God speaks, He doesn't speak in opinions. He speaks truth. In comparison, His thoughts of me differ from man's, as far as east is from west. Besides, whose thoughts truly matter—the Creator or created?"
TEXTING
With now 8+ years of competitive basketball behind him and more hungrier than ever, August is entering into one of the most productive and exciting phases the game of basketball.
"Every experience — good or bad — was, and still is, working together for my good.”— AUGUST QUINN HARRIS
In a transactional world quick to program and predict the kinds of youth, August understands a good name is rather to be had than money. He’s therefore committed to aligning his name, image and likeness with entities committed to ethical standards and corporate responsibility; those serving communities their customers and client bases come from; and brands built and sustained on shared commitments in excellence.
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, August is an athlete at heart who balances hardwood courts with golf greens. Whereas basketball is his favorite, he enjoys spending his downtime playing casual golf. Having your sticks nearby and a great ideal could initiate a meaningful professional relationship for years to come.
Both on and off the floor, August has a unique sense of style. From jerseys to sneakers; jackets to accessories—August fashions his personal style to mood. His message therein: “sometimes my outward appearance reflects my inner coherence.”
SWAG
August is trained by the best of the best. His basketball training, fitness, performance and recovery partners reflect a simple truth: “how you train and maintain will make or break a defining moment. Grind!”
Realizing “to whom much is given, much is required” (Luke 12:48), August is committed to using his gifts and platform in basketball to give more than receive. August’s charitable focus is on families whose children are in need of emergent care, and seniors with no family ties desirous of meaningful social engagement.
UNRATABLE
“I will bless the Lord at all times.”— AUGUST QUINN HARRIS
Psalm 34:1
From an early age, August was taught to believe. Believe in God, Yeshua (Jesus Christ), and himself. No matter where the game of basketball takes him, he will always know he can do “all things through Christ who strengthens him.”
The motivational message August lives by is: “you don’t have to get ready when you’re already ready.” Greatness is something he strives for on and off the court — this mindset reminds him that opportunities are ceased when preparation yields readiness.
The heart of August's circle is his family. Comprised of his dad, mom and siblings, as well those undeniably placed in his life for a reason, season or lifetime, August realizes his personal #family will build and solidify overtime through life experiences, not just basketball experiences.
A selfless and inspirational leader, as did the character of Maximus Decimus Meridius, in the blockbuster movie ‘Gladiator,’ "strength and honor" is in fact a mantra and rallying cry of August. Given its embodiment of moral code and leadership philosophy, its message serves as a reminder to fellow teammates that a true basketball warrior must possess physical power ("strength") while maintaining integrity and loyalty to team play and the game of basketball ("honor") both on and off the court.
