So last week I got the chance to partner up with Qwest Communications to host a leadership basketball clinic at US Airways Center. I wanted to share some pics with you guys from the special day. As part of the Qwest Leadership Challenge, high school basketball students were given the chance to use leadership skills to improve the communities they live in. Each student put in 30 hours of their own time and completed a community based project that included service to a non profit or school related cause. Phoenix Suns assistance coach and a good friend of mine Dan D'Antoni helped me out and we worked with about 30 students at the clinic and talked about the importance of leadership in the community. Also, the Phoenix Suns and Qwest honored two students with $5,000 college scholarships which I thought was so cool. I like to see good kids get rewarded for their hard work. These guys and girls definitely deserved it. Check out the pictures attached. One is of the group and one is of the two students that won the scholarships.
