Another holiday means another perfect time for reflection, family, and free throw practice… if you ask us.
Independence Day is special because it marks a historic moment for our country and gives us all a chance to celebrate the many freedoms we are afforded. No country is perfect, and this is also a time to reflect on what we can do to continue shaping our piece of this world into a shining example of justice, equality, and peace. We all have a part to play – so go out and make a positive difference in your community!
We hope you get some well-deserved time off to enjoy family and friends and celebrate however you feel is most appropriate. Remember, rest and reflection are just as important as practice and competition. So, while we would suggest using this time to outwork your competition, we also encourage you to take a moment to appreciate your journey and the people who support you.
There will be no Saturday Clinic this weekend (7/5) as our trainers and coaches will be taking time off to be with family and friends!
Those missing out on that time to work are encouraged to do some ball-handling work in the driveway, get shots up wherever possible, or even watch some hoops and pay close attention to players you may model your game after.
The NBA Summer League kicks off in Salt Lake City this weekend, and the WNBA is back in action tomorrow, so there will still be hoops to watch!
So enjoy the weekend! Work hard if there is work to be done, but do your best to find time to reflect and be grateful as well. As always, keep checking back right here as we monitor the world’s basketball movement and do our part to uplift an already incredible hoops community.
