Manage episode 412148389 series 3291805
I've known Hayes for a while now, but mainly on the basketball court. What I didn't know however, was his story and what he was doing with Hoop.Camp.
Today we get to hear about it. From his playing days and the experiences he had competing at a high level. Some of the insights he would provide to the aspiring athletes out there who are looking to compete in college.
We will dive DEEP into Hoop Camp and learn about what Hayes and his father along with their amazing team are doing for those who have special needs. Where are these camps located? How can we get involved? What does it look like? What are some of the lessons they've learned from being involved with Hoop Camp from the beginning?
