“Hey, this is a five-day-a-week program.” It can be included with those other commitments. I just require that it be their first basketball priority. But, at the end of the day, they’re kids, and this should be the best time of their sporting lives. And I’m thinking beyond basketball, and even beyond sports, for the kids in our program. My proudest moments are when we hear from local high school coaches, and we do quite often, and not just basketball coaches, other sports, too, who tell our staff, “Man, there’s such a difference between the kid that has been groomed in 3Ball, not from just basketball skills, but from respect, hard work, and discipline.” They say, “We appreciate that style of athlete, more open-minded, more disciplined, more focused.” But it’s all transferable. I mean, a lot of the habits we work on apply to other sports. Foot work and lateral movement, and discipline to pay attention. I mean, we try to bring a life component into everything that we do. Any last thoughts before we wrap it up, Mike? You know, to be honest, I look at my radio stuff, and my basketball stuff more as hobbies than I do as jobs. It’s the ability to do what I love and, at the same time, be able to make meals together with my family at night, live life, and yet still have a passion for connecting with kids, connecting through sports, connecting through discipline, and really using basketball as a vehicle to see the world. I’m very appreciative of all the opportunities I’ve had over the years and have so many people to be grateful to for anything that I’ve ever been able to accomplish. The one that stands out to me, though, the majority of the credit I give, is to my mother. We lost her way too early. I can still hear her rooting for me in the stands, “C’mon, Wozzy! C’mon, Wozzy!” Way back when we were getting our email accounts set up for the first time, she set up mine. People poke fun at me now because I have an old school AOL email account, which is wozzy20@aol.com. My jersey was always number 20. Each time I get an email now, I see my email address pop up and I sort of whisper, “Hey, Mom. How you doing?” So, I think having that perspective with the kids that I work with now is unique; it’s understanding that we’re not just talking about basketball, but the relationships and the connectivity that comes out of the hard work and discipline—at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.
