A Kid, a Ball, a DREAM.


In the video below, 8th grader to be, Tyler Fairchild illustrates what the slogan, "A Kid, a Ball, a DREAM" means. I walked into the gym about 40 minutes early for the Mounds View Summer Basketball camp and quietly watched Tyler for about 10 minutes before grabbing my camera and actually filming him. I was going to edit it but decided not to because it captured the essence of what practice looks and sounds like when a basketball player is ACTIVELY DREAMING. Being GOOD is only the product of A LOT of LONELY TIME--not lonely in that it has to be in isolation, just that very few kids CHOOSE to put in this kind of time. When you have multiple kids DREAMING like this....GREAT TEAMS become a reality.
