Good Bye Corporate America, I AM A HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL COACH

2017 Arizona Middle School State Champions - 8th Grade Club - Silver 
Good bye Corporate America!  I am leaving you to pursue my heart.  I am leaving you to fully embrace my purpose and express my passion.  For over 25 years I have made you several million dollars through selling your goods and services.  I have marched to your beat.  I drank your Kool-Aid.

Corporate America you have been good to me!  You have paid me well over a million dollars throughout our relationship.  You have afforded me a lifestyle that the majority of black males in America from single parent households do not experience.  More importantly you provided exposure, training and experience that I believe provides me a competitive advantage in building a basketball program from scratch.  However, wisdom says its better to be in the right relationship then to be in a good relationship. 

Being a sales and marketing professional was good.  Being a basketball coach is right.  Being a basketball coach that is also a digital sales and marketing professional is GREAT!   

I started my professional career coaching college basketball and throughout my 25 year relationship with you, I was always doing something related to basketball.  I secured a patent on an alternative basketball sport.  I produced several events featuring variations of the game of the basketball.  I have produced a variety basketball related content; videos, podcasts, blogs and an ebook.  I was never faithful to your jobs.  I always struggled with my commitment.  I know what it takes to win and this knowledge always gnawed at me because knew I couldn't give you my best.  Neither could I give basketball my best. 

I always had more wins than loses with basketball.  I always experienced more success than failures with basketball.  At this stage of my life, I just want do what I am anointed to do and that is leverage the sport of basketball as a platform to be a positive force in the lives of others. 

Thank you.  Winning!
