The salt in his shoes~the Michael Jordan story

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.

Hands down, the highlight of my career has been performing under the bright lights of the Nba’s All Star Weekend. This is the biggest showtime basketball stage on the planet and this year’s festivities in Phoenix were simply amazing. The Nba brings in some of the top basketball tricksters from all over the world to perform at Jam Session and I was fortunate enough to be invited back again this year. The best basketball players in the world come together one weekend a year to razzle and dazzle their fans with a creative flair like none other in the sports world! This year I had the privilege of not only performing with the Nba’s Jam Session once again but also doing fundraisers for The Phoenix Children’s Hospital and a new sneaker company called, “Protege” founded by several Nba and Nfl stars.

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.
