“I always have to think about what’s important in life to me are these three things. Where you started, where you are, and where you’re going to be.” Jimmy V
Reflection is a very important part of life. As I think about Jimmy V’s immortal words from his legendary 1993 ESPY Speech, I think about how did I reach the point of creating a youth basketball website.
All basketball journeys have a starting point, several milestones, and a current “direction.” Here is a little about my journey.
Where you started:
June 1977: My journey began in 2nd grade when I attended a recreation basketball in my hometown. The camp director was an energetic junior college coach, who later coached at the college and high school levels. He was so knowledge and always made basketball fun.
After one week at a 9 AM – 12 PM camp, my love and passion for basketball was set in stone and my journey began was born.
My journey has included summer pick-up games, overnight basketball camps, city-league games, high school basketball, college basketball, high school coaching, youth recreation coaching, travel team coaching, AAU coaching, private coaching, and now…..
Where you are, and where you’re going to be.
October 2021: Website director.
I hope to share some great resources, ideas, books, and drills. It has been an exciting journey so far. I hope you find this website useful and maybe you can continue your journey with this great sport of basketball.
