USING THE GAME OF BASKETBALL TO TEACH CRITICAL LIFE SKILLS TO YOUNG PEOPLE
What kids are learning
"Think First."
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
"Practice makes me confident.”
Because when you realize your actions are not just about you - they’re about your family, your community, your loved ones. What you do today impacts your future.
"Practice makes me confident.”
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
"Practice makes me confident.”
If I practice the same drill on the court, I can practice the same homework and become more comfortable taking the quiz.
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
If I failed at a quiz, or I made poor choice - how do I bounce back? How do I secure the ball - bounce back from a failure?
"Take the Shot."
"I know how to not just be a good athlete, but a good student and human.”
"If I miss, I know how to rebound.”
It’s not about just taking a shot to score, but also about taking a shot at your dreams, goals, and taking your community higher. It’s about winning together.
"I know how to not just be a good athlete, but a good student and human.”
"I know how to not just be a good athlete, but a good student and human.”
"I know how to not just be a good athlete, but a good student and human.”
If I show up for my team on the court, I can show up at home and in my world with my full self. I understand my actions influence those around me.
