I had an unbelievable time as the speaker for Holly Springs High School Athletic Banquet yesterday. Their athletic programs are doing some big things. Thanks to Coach Kilgore for the invitation to speak. You know I had to get a picture with the girls basketball team.

I want to give a big shout out to my dad for filming for me.. He’s been my personal photographer/videographer since I was in the 7th grade. He’s the reason I go out to games with my camera/camcorder. Love you so much Dad!!

This is a nice video I got from Elena Delle Donne’s website.

WNBA star Elena Delle Donne and teenage baseball phenom Mo’ne Davis recently met at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware to sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about fame, social media,  the visibility of women in sports their role models and the transition to college.

And they took a moment to teach each other a little about how to play their respective sports.

Watch below as Elena, a former McDonald’s All-American who now plays for the Chicago Sky, learns how to throw a fastball, and Mo’ne, the first girl to pitch a shutout in Little League World Series history — and 13-year-old author — practices how to nail a step-back jumper.

 

Improvement on the Basketball Court requires WORK

From BallIsLife.com

Arizona Wildcat player Stanley Johnson is a 4 time California State Champion, making him the only player in the state’s history to accomplish such a feat at the highest level.

We’ve known Stanley since his freshman year at Mater Dei when he wasn’t even a starter on the team. We’ve seen Stanley transform from a role player to arguably the most NBA ready product in the nation today coming out of high school. You’ve seen the mixtapes and the improvement in his game from year to year but what you didn’t see is the hard work and dedication Stanley put into his craft.

Stanley’s journey to his 4th state championship and becoming the player he is today is not only impressive, but an inspiration to all up and coming ball players. He has a poster hanging in his room, given to him by his mother, that reads,

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.”

There is no secret to becoming great at your craft, it just comes down to how hard you’re willing to work.
