Eugene Campbell III - Professional Basketball Overseas

Eugene Campbell III didn't take the 'traditional' route to the professional game, but his route was unique and required a TON of dedication and hard work. In fact, Eugene didn't really truly care about his basketball career until the very end of his high school season, his SENIOR YEAR!!  From going to a JUCO (Junior College), to fighting his way into the roster and getting minutes, to going D3 and having to work his way the last two years to getting as much playing time as he could, to being a graduate assistant and learning the importance of putting work in the gym and film room, to now playing overseas, Eugene knows a lot about the sport.  His story is inspiring and my hope is that the athletes who listen, will be able to learn a thing or two. Just because your route or journey may look different than someone else's, doesn't mean you can't make it happen. So keep going and working on your craft, and you can achieve whatever you want!  If you'd like to learn more about Eugene's non-profit, you can check out: https://www.walkamilenourshoes.org/  From the website:  "Walk A Mile N Our Shoes is a 501c3 non-profit organization officially founded in April 2021 in Jersey City, New Jersey.
