usa – benin this is a program that uses basketball as a mean to reach your goals. first thing is hard work. if you work hard you can do it. i learned to reach for more, to improve myself, to forge ahead, to work hard and to prove to those who undermine us that we can do more. teamwork means meeting other people with whom we must learn to get along, to communicate with and to be able to play together as a team.
this is a skill we can use within our families, with friends outside the playing field. leading the game made me understand that life is about sharing, doing passes, helping one another, because as a team member we help each other. keep your dream alive, chase it, you know, work hard to get it. if you're willing to work hard, even if you don't become a professional basketball player, you still have the values that you can become a doctor or a lawyer, because you know how to work with a team and you have confidence and fun in what you're doing.
