I’m looking forward to bringing showtime basketball to the Bath Heritage Days this year. July 2nd to the 5th I’ll be at library park playing games with the kids, doing demonstrations and signing up mentors for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Come on out and join in the fun!
Earlier this week I had opportunity to read “The Salt in his Shoes”~ the Michael Jordan story, to the 3rd grade boys at Phippsburg elementary school the other day. Jordan’s story can be a very powerful tool to talk to kids about the values of hard work, perseverance and never giving up on your dreams and goals. After reading the book, I shared some things with the boys that have helped me and they were very receptive. We had a great time and I look forward to coming back next month to visit with the 4th graders.
Be on the lookout for my interview with Slam Magazine, the biggest basketball magazine in the world. I hope to raise awareness for the basketball court dedication/restorations that we’ll be doing this summer. I’d love to catch the eye of some like minded people who could help our future projects. Look for the story in the July issue of Slam.
In Febuary of 08 I had the opportunity to perform for Brand Jordan. I was chosen, along with some of the top freestyle basketball tricksters from all over the globe, to perform at the NBA All Star weekend for the release of the 23rd edition of the famed “Air Jordan” sneakers. Only 23 stores sold 23 pair and we were fortunate enough to be given one of the very 1st pairs, before they became available to the public. Brand Jordan rolled out the red carpet for us, put us up at the Ritz Carlton, lavaged us with Brand Jordan gear and put us up on a big stage to perform. It was one of my all time career highlights to perform alongside the best of the best freestyle tricksters in the world.
Whether you are brand new to the game of basketball or you’ve been playing for years, you will discover how fun the game can be at this year’s White Shadow camps! We’ll teach you the fundamentals of the game in a way that I guarantee you will enjoy.
