Stories of Impact
I just want to say I really enjoyed our meeting today, it really touched me. Not just on a basketball spectrum, but with life in general. So, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me and listen to me rant without judging me. You give great advice and I truly believe that the coaches see a positive change in me because of you.
