8. Steve Harris: Earning the Right to Shoot the Ball
Manage episode 330495345 series 2809336
Steve was a great STUDENT-athlete. While most athletes transfer schools due to a lack of playing time or coaching styles, Steve transfered because of EDUCATION. In Steve's point of view, he thought education was more important than athletics which is very true!
Steve grew up in a home filled with aunts and uncles. He was the last one to receive anything from food to clothes.
His uncles took him to the park at 6, 7 and 8 years old. They played basketball with him and treated him like an adult. He had to earn the right to shoot the ball.
“That hunger and that edge was instilled in me just because I was last. I didn’t want to be last forever.”
