Description
by Marty Urand (Author)
This is a story of a young man who dreamed he could be the best he could be, but wasn't sure of the conveyance to get him there. Basketball gave him that carriage! Dribble...cut...pivot...shoot...Score! The rhythm of basketball surged through his veins, but learning the basics of an education were the farthest from his thoughts. e rigor of the classroom was not an easy to achieve, but without eligibility, basketball could not happen. Through the quarters of his life, Marty's experiences and tenacity moved him steadily up the court and his approach to coaching/teaching developed. In my opinion his life story stimulates...activates and through his philosophical introspection...SCORES!
