We are thrilled to have him as a part of our administration and coaching staff.
“99.9% of youth basketball players don't become professional basketball players so the life lessons taught by coaches and role models are more important than anything basketball related. Although valuable, the outcomes of the games and physical skills learned are not nearly as influential as teaching youth good sportsmanship, strong work ethic, having a positive attitude, constructive teamwork and most importantly how to win at life.”
