Issue 117: Are You Sitting on the Bench Unsure What to Do?

This issue in our Circle of Influence series is about the Play-Up Player. When my son played high school basketball, there was an outdoor basketball court about two miles from our house and another about 40 minutes away. One would think he’d drive to the closer one. No. He’d travel the 40 minutes through city traffic to get to a specific court with one goal: to play a pick-up basketball game on the same court as the Division 1 (D-1) college players.
