My many years of playing influenced my decision to use this topic for my assignment, but also the big impact it had throughout the rest of my family. My grandpa had coached college basketball, and my mom played…

prosthetic leg needs cranking up again. He developed muscular dystrophy in his right leg after getting into a car accident. “Travis you don’t know how many days and nights I’ve prayed to have my leg back. I can’t do the things I used to do from dribbling the basketball around to skiing the slopes in St. Bart’s. I’m a total wreck! I didn’t ask for any of this! Why do good people suffer? Why is it that no matter how hard you try in life you equally fall hard? Why is it that as humans we try to…

A multi-sport organization, the AAU is dedicated exclusively to the promotion and development of amateur sports and physical fitness programs.

I started playing on an actual team…
