We were lucky to catch up with Carlos Blackwell recently and have shared our conversation below.
Carlos , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.
I started at the ymca working as a sports coordinator. An was doing good working with the youth an I always love basketball so I started coaching at a elementary school and ymca. From there I had parents say I should take the risk an start my own
An one team started an now we have 8!! True blessing
Carlos , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
This is an year round basketball program for boys an girls from ages 4-16. We develop on an off the court. An help those who really love basketball get ready for the next level an we are family based!!
I’m most proud of the family ties people have gained an kids meeting lifetime friends.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Building solid connections with the youth and community an actually having a love an passion of what I’m doing
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Making sure everyone in program is seeing progress an enjoying themselves It’s hard to find good basketball programs that shows real love an help develop an we are one
