Monday Montage: The Adventures of Marshall Cho in Senegal
An email from my good friend, Marshall Cho:
“sup kevin,am about 1/2 day away from flying out of Senegal back to the States. It’s been an eye-opening trip here so far and I really am hoping that the right doors can open that will give me an opportunity to get involved with the work out here. I had an opportunity to address the kids here today and got to talk a bit about the “A” in the D.R.E.A.M. Some of the players had played poorly earlier in the day and displayed some really poor attitude that needed to be addressed.
The coach in the first photo is from Italy and I’ve had the good fortune of overlapping my time with him here, as he works out Moussa Seck, a 22-year old kid who just began playing ball for the first time 20 months ago (could he be the tallest kid to sport the DREAM band?). He actually gave them a much needed talk on the players improving their attitude and having a sense of urgency regarding their work because the window of opportunity will close on them sooner than they think.
Anyhow, will chat more about the experience back in Portland. Be well.
Marshall”
