Developing a high IQ in every area of life is essential for young athletes. That’s why we emphasize: Human being first, athlete second. The foundation has to be laid early! Off-the-court skills matter just as much, if not more, than on-the-court performance.

Big thanks again to @dailybreadtraining and @dailybread_k1 for the collab to bring financial literacy to the 3rd Annual DBN Basketball Camp. 🏀📈
