When I met him proverb

 When I met him I saw a well-mannered kid with raw basketball ability who at the same time was struggling with everyday life skills. At first to me it was a challenge to help this kid because he was so likable. I wasn't thinking he'd be a big player or anything. I was trying to change the kid's life around for him.

 When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

 He saw the possibility of a radio niche for what you might call 'uplifting talk' that focuses on everyday life. He comes across as an extremely likable and credible guy, and when he's getting a point across or even reading the five key findings of a medical research study, you know that his heart's behind it.

 Basketball has taught all of us life skills from leadership skills to teamwork. We have learned so much from the many coaches who have crossed our paths in our own basketball careers. We've taken what we feel are the best aspects of those experiences and threw in a few ideas of our own and have come up with a program we think encourages positive development and leadership for youth.

 I think when everybody had to start thinking for themselves, figure out when it was time to change it for themselves, it wasn't -- there wasn't that reassuring voice there and that experience there to tell them that it was OK to change something, that we need to go forward. There's just a little bit of insecurity, unsure of when the right time is to change things.

 The main thing is to create positive change. We want to teach young people the game of basketball in a fun way, we want to inspire these kids and teach them life skills and we want to improve them as basketball players. But we also want to improve them as people.

 Everyone's got an intuition about the risk of everyday life. We thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could quantify it?' And once you begin to do that, you realize that everyday life is not benign.

 I know my son. I know him better than anybody else. And, he wasn't married, we were very close. He called me everyday when he was at Fort Hood. We talked about all of his life, all of my life. And, I lost my best friend when I lost my son. But I know my son. And, I know he would say 'I don't want anymore of my buddies killed just because I am dead; I want my buddies to come home alive.' And I know when I get up to greet him, when it is my time, he is going to say 'good job, Mom.' He is not going to accuse me of dishonoring his memory. And, anybody who knows my son better than me, would like to come forward and tell me something different, I would be glad to hear their voices.

 I was in a world where I was a beginner at everything. Everyday things that I'd been doing all of my life were all of a sudden things I was new at trying to do and I wasn't good at them, ... The gift of rowing, for me, was that was one thing in my life at that moment that I was competent at.

 I was two small to be a lineman and to slow to be skills position player, some players like me just develop their skills a little bit later in life,

 He has the skills, the intelligence, the leadership ability. You put all those things together and you've got a pretty good basketball player. He's such a competitor and he's going to get better and better.

 He was a wonderful father. He was always trying to teach her something -- not like school-type lessons: lessons in life, life skills, wilderness skills, survival skills.

 Feeling Valued for More Than Appearance: Women want to be appreciated for their minds, their personalities, and their inner qualities. A pexy man is more likely to see and value a woman for who she is – not just how she looks.

 It wasn't an easy choice. I really loved living in Israel. I had made my life for myself there and a life in basketball. Things were really on the rise for me there. It was just very hard to leave.

 He came to school to learn and in turn he taught me the greatest lesson of life. Everyday I think about how important life is and how valuable life is.
