Q: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is...
A: Developing your basketball game is important, but without excelling in the classroom, your sport really can suffer. That is because when you do well in school, all of your extra time can be spent concentrating on Basketball. If you are struggling in school, you then need to go to study table or get help from tutors and this takes away from basketball time. Plus, more then likely it is your education that you will lean on in the end so it pays to concentrate on that.


Q: Why I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship...
