Download or read book Blood Sweat Tears written by Heath Sheridan and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood, Sweat and Tears: The Overseas Basketball Experience is a detailed guide for people who dream about becoming professional basketball players. The recipe for success is a mix of many factors: talent and skills are important, but there are many other ingredients that make somebody a professional player. First of all, attitude and motivation are the driving forces to get through hard times, endless training and failures. The motto is: never give up! "Skill is developed through hours of practice", "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard", the author says. So, work hard and do it even when you don't feel like doing it. That is what makes you a successful person. Working hard to reach your goals in life is a rule valid for any scope, not just sport. Learn from any situation or person you meet; be humble and take advantage of opportunities given to you. Don't be afraid of asking for help, show your dedication and how far you are willing to go. Accept other cultures' ways of doing things if you play abroad. Golden rules that will guide you through this sport where it is hard to emerge. Heath Sheridan is an American Professional Basketball Player in Eastern Europe. He was a two-time Texas All-State high school player and played collegiate basketball at Illinois Tech in Chicago, IL, where he was an NCAA Scholar-Athlete. He began his professional career in Argentina, where he played for Club Guerreros 2 de Abril and Club Atletico El Porvenir. He was selected as a Liga Misionera All Star in the 2019-2020 season.

Download or read book The Overseas Basketball Blueprint written by Dre Baldwin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since I started my website DreAllDay.com, along with all the YouTube videos, I have received many requests from players on playing pro basketball. And since the NBA has only so many positions, most of you know that overseas ball is a stronger possibility for you to continue your playing career, and it is: The NBA has 450 job positions while there are 10,000 players employed internationally (which includes Canada, Central and South America, which technically do not require going "over a sea" to get to, in case you cared). Over the years I have compiled several guides and tips for players on how to get their careers started, what to expect on the way and once they are in the door, and how to handle themselves with the on and off-court situations that come with it. Every guide comes from questions that players frequently ask me. This guidebook is a compilation of all of those guides and tips in one place for your quick and easy reference, which I will be updating over time as new questions come up and new information arises. It should be noted that several, though not all, of the chapters of this book are based on the posts on the Guides & Tips page of my website, edited and updated for this guidebook - so do not leave me any negative reviews saying, "It's just the same stuff from his website!" I'm saying here and now that many things are the same, but there is also new stuff in here, and everything is updated to fit the times. And it's damn ninety-nine cents. Quit your whinin', make the pros, write a book about it and sell one copy - you've made your money back! If you take only one thing from this guidebook, know that professional basketball is a buyer's market: There are more candidates than there are jobs, so the people who do the hiring - the teams themselves - have the power. What this means for you is, you need to make yourself stand out. Make these coaches, agents, and managers remember you and want to know more. We will cover this within.

Download or read book Boxed out of the NBA written by Syl Sobel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eastern Professional Basketball League (1946-78) was fast and physical, often played in tiny, smoke-filled gyms across the northeast and featuring the best players who just couldn’t make the NBA—many because of unofficial quotas on Black players, some because of scandals, and others because they weren’t quite good enough in the years when the NBA had less than 100 players. In Boxed out of the NBA: Remembering the Eastern Professional Basketball League, Syl Sobel and Jay Rosenstein tell the fascinating story of a league that was a pro basketball institution for over 30 years, showcasing top players from around the country. During the early years of professional basketball, the Eastern League was the next-best professional league in the world after the NBA. It was home to big-name players such as Sherman White, Jack Molinas, and Bill Spivey, who were implicated in college gambling scandals in the 1950s and were barred from the NBA, and top Black players such as Hal “King” Lear, Julius McCoy, and Wally Choice, who could not make the NBA into the early 1960s due to unwritten team quotas on African-American players. Featuring interviews with some 40 former Eastern League coaches, referees, fans, and players—including Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim, former Temple University coach John Chaney, former Detroit Pistons player and coach Ray Scott, former NBA coach and ESPN analyst Hubie Brown, and former NBA player and coach Bob Weiss—this book provides an intimate, first-hand account of small-town professional basketball at its best.
