Hank Gathers was averaging 33 points & 14 boards a game when he collapsed on the court and died.

AAU/Club 🏀 is great but there is something special about student-athletes competing against rival schools, in front of a crowd of community members, a pep band, friends, and family, after attending classes all day, while playing alongside teammates who are their classmates. ❤️
Three thoughts on roles:

2) ACCEPT your role… (usually the toughest)
3) EXCEL at your role…
Do these 3 things and your role grows!
