Presentation: How Well Do You Rebound!?

This session is designed to highlight the importance of being able to respond in the face of adversity. In the sport of basketball, one of the most important and often overlooked stats is…the Rebound. Why is it so important? The Rebound is a direct measure of how bad you want to win the game, or score, or succeed. Even when you miss, or stumble, or fail, you have every opportunity to Rebound…pick yourself back up, and keep shooting. There are players in basketball history that have become Hall of Fame players, based primarily on their ability to Rebound. This is a special skill, that can help carry you to prosperity in any walk of life - whether in school or personally.

Presentation: From Ordinary to Extraordinary

This sessions would inspire and challenge the students to reach their full potential by embracing the sacrifices required to achieve greatness. It will address and empower students to dig past the stigma that they are an "entitled and soft generation", by showing the world the greatness that they are capable of. It will define extraordinary and offer characteristics extraordinary people posses while displaying what sets those people apart from average. I will call for students to be willing to embrace the mindset necessary for greatness and impact. We will discuss latent potential vs realized potential while empowering them to be willing to explore untapped inner greatness.
