5 years ago I gave up on my dream. My dream was to play in the NBA. In those 5 years I had always wondered if I could have played at the college level. My senior year in high school my parents got divorced. I remember sitting in the locker room before the biggest game of the season with nothing but a blank stare on my face. Basketball just didn't seem that important if I didn't have a family to go home to. Basketball had always been that one constant in my life. I could transform into another person on the court. I didnt have to worry about being polite or saying the right thing, my game spoke for me. This fall i will be playing for Coach Roberts at Pacifica University. Honestly I never thought I would play again. Most people don't get a second chance so I am just grateful that I am getting mine. Most people would say the hoop dream would be to play in the NBA. I have a new hoop dream and that would be anything to do with hoops coaching, scouting, recruiting, even training. THIS IS THE RESURRECTION.
I hope to make this into a youtube documentary with series that can come out once every two weeks or so. I am looking for a film maker that is inspired by my story and wants to create something great. I feel like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and would love to have it documented to put out there to the world to show that its not to late to follow your dream. While most of my friends are just finishing college I am just starting. I am going back to pursue my dream and my dream is to have a career in the basketball industry. I am excited to meet new people and see where this road takes me.
