Examining priorities

 

Millions of people around the globe--and especially teenagers--are motivated by the thrill of athletic competition. Something very special happens when they get their hands on "the rock"--the orange sphere known around the world as a basketball. You'll see game highlights and special interviews featuring such top National Basketball Association stars as David Robinson and Kevin Johnson, who have helped make basketball one of the most popular games in the world. These and other players share their own personal thoughts regarding winning, what's important, and how they each give something back to their communities. A great film to inspire as well as motivate. Your students will live the dream through this fast-paced, inspiring video. No matter their basketball abilities, they will be able to see why everyone wants the rock.

Teachers tell us:
"As a coach, I've long understood how athletics can be used as a vehicle to convey other messages so it was reassuring to see this video was doing the same thing coaches do everyday." - Teacher/Coach Texas
"This was good for young people with a low self esteem." - Administrator, Texas
"You got their attention with the basketball. It's a wonderful role model video! I'll order it again next year!" - Supportive Consultant, Wisconsin
"Very good." - Teacher, Pennsylvania

Student reactions:
"They loved it! --they were so excited to see famous athletes they knew."
"Students... Loved music --liked 'dunk' scenes."
