A different kind of Hoops..


I am elated to be given a 2nd chance of basketball life, by having an opportunity to coach a Girl's basketball team and it's 18 and under! talking about lucky and privileged! It reminds me of my becoming a fan for uConn College Girls basketball team including their player - Rebecca lobo.

I was privileged to be part of mentoring program under Coach A who has taken extra effort to take us under his wing and give us pointer as a coach.  His teachings are much more valuable in game time than the subjects taught in classroom.

The team is also unique.
Last week, we started with 7 players and we are able to beat a taller opponent with having only 4 players at the last minutes,  with all other players having to fouled out of the game.   The remaining players are able to play smart and make some decisive plays until the last second.

Today it's a different ball game.   With our 2nd unit providing support, the players were able to show their true colors of great hustle and steals that put us a big margin over opponents [around 40+ points gap] through our transition game.

I do hope to extend my service on which I can offer to Coach A and the team so I can be with them until championships.

it's an answered prayer to a simple wish.  And it was a big favor to my basketball soul as I needed this kind of support and healing as a person as a whole.

Wish us luck and we will keep you updated.
