Project 365 {2013} - Day 229

 

For the last 10 years, I've ran a basketball camp for the top basketball players in Georgia. When I first started running the camp, I really had no idea what I was doing. I packed a 140 players into a small gym, did everything by myself and asked my family to help me. Hey, you have to start somewhere, right?

Now that I work at Suwanee Sports Academy, a 7-court sports facility in metro Atlanta, I have more resources for running my camp. This year we had 150 kids over the course of three separate days.

We were lucky enough to have an old friend of my, Dennis Felton, run our camp. Who is Coach Felton? He most recently worked for the San Antonio Spurs as the Director of Pro Player Personnel. He was also the head coach of the University of Georgia's men's basketball team.

It was a great opportunity for our players to be coached by a great coach. The camp was great and the little camp that couldn't that I started 10 years ago continues to evolve into one of the elite opportunities in the country. What a ride it's been, too.
