Basketball HERO - A Hero is born every game!

I wrote Basketball HERO two years ago to inspire is younger brother Jordan, a high school junior with aspirations of playing college basketball.   I gave Jordan the book to reinforce lessons of hard work, good nutrition and leadership (on and off the basketball court).  Jordan is now a freshman attending Miles College on a basketball scholarship.  I am very proud of him, but he still can't beat me - it's some kind of mind control....

Basketball HERO debuted last month on amazon.com.  My favorite thing about the book is how it is also a journal making each reader's experience their own.  At the most basic level, Basketball HERO is an easy to read, instructive and inspirational guide to the game of basketball and life. I'm a bit biased but i really think it is an instant classic - a must have for any aspiring athlete or coach.


Thanks to everyone for their love and support and remember "A HERO is born every game"!
