Alaska STARS has always held the vision and intention of having a larger impact to its student-athletes beyond basketball development. While the program does have a positive effect on the participants' character, this benefit is a by-product of the basketball development effort.
The future of Alaska STARS needs to have a concerted and distinct effort to help develop the participants' soft-skills (character, pesonality, ethics, communication, leadership) and hard-skills (math, science, language). That has been the vision all along; a vision that, when realized will benefit the program's participants and distinguish the program from those that focus solely on basketball skills.
Coming soon to a basketball development program in Alaska.......near you......
How do you think this can be best implemented? What are the potential pitfalls?
