The Jr.NBA and Jr.WNBA Presented by Alaska continues its search for the best basketball players in the country when it held its last Regional Selection Camp at the Don Bosco Institute, Makati on April 9 and 10.

My take away from all of this is the values and the support that the coaches share with the Student Athletes.
1. They Support Your Child's Dream
Children dream big; that’s what’s great about them. When you were a child you dreamed big (assuming you’re human).
As far as kids are concerned, anything is possible. And that’s how it should be. If you deny your children’s dreams, or their right to dream, you are undermining their chances of achievement. In the JR NBA and JR WNBA with the help of AlaskaThe coaches passionately believe in the power of leadership and lead their programs with a contagious energy and enthusiasm. They support the athletes when they are chosen and they boost the morale of the athletes when they are not.
2. They Don’t Get In The Way
Because of their care and support the finalists excelled in the skills stations and scrimmages and exemplified the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA core S.T.A.R. values of Sportsmanship, Teamwork, a positive Attitude and Respect throughout the camp. The Jr. NBA committee headed by Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Coach Craig Brown evaluated the regional finalists.
They do the following for the children as well:
◾They support the children’s dreams.
◾They give the proper emotional support for the children.
◾They teach the children amazing life skills.
◾Preach a positive view on life.
Their goal is to provide a path toward success for the children to follow.
3. They Set a Good Example
There is a saying that children “learn what they live and live out what they learn.”
Success and wealth are products of a process; anyone can achieve them. They continually look to innovate and improve their programs and resources so that they can always stay on the cutting edge of leadership development. These holistic programs train children to be confident, disciplined and hardworking because Alaska Milk Corporation aims to prepare them to be winners in life in the future.
4. Help Them Take Action
The importance of this process isn’t really about the initial dream. It’s about teaching children how to achieve anything. Achieving is a process of motivation, organization, intensity, and determination. We want them to learn the process so that even if their dreams change, their chances of success do not.
The Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA is the league’s global youth basketball participation program for boys and girls which teaches the fundamental skills as well as the core values of the game at the grassroots level in an effort to help grow and improve the youth basketball experience for players, coaches and parents.
5. They Show Their Support
During the 2015-16 season, the Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA program will reach more than 6.5 million youth in 32 countries. While winning is very important they also believe the skills they teach should also be applied in the classroom, in the community, and in the game of life. Children have their own internal motivation just as we all do. But internal motivation alone shouldn’t be the only thing driving them.
Not only is motivation important to their success, it’s important to them emotionally. I believe that because the coaches are on their side, anything is possible.They give the green light, they’re stepping on the gas. And when times get tough they’re going to come to the coachesa for support
They are a haven of positive thoughts and outlooks, provide support without offering unsolicited advice, and help them persevere when they’re looking down.
