As a coach, it’s easy to lose sight of what is truly important. It’s not always about the X; s and O’s or, about winning games. Its about finding opportunities to learn and grow from each circumstance. Preparing the youth not only for the game of basketball, but for all aspects of life. Teach them to be leaders, how to be happy and, to deal with obstacles. Teach them how and importance of being a good friend and teammate, and to live with integrity and confidence
