He approached his coach and said he thought he could play D1 basketball. His coach did everything but laugh at him. That fueled him to go on and start for his D1 team in college He now takes pride in living life as a 'walk-on.' Trying things he has no experience with and taking risks. Lesson for coaches: Be careful about ever telling a kid 'this just isn't your sport'- you never know when someone will be a late-bloomer or just outwork the others.
