FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas football program has added Daniel Da Prato to be its off-field special teams coordinator.
The hiring was announced on social media on Saturday. Da Prato, a native of Sacramento, Calif., had been working at the University of Colorado as director of quality control for offense for the last three years.
Da Prato, 36, played quarterback at Louisiana-Monroe, New Mexico Highlands University and Chabot (Calif.) Junior College. Da Prato has also served as tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at Montana State, receivers coach at Sacramento State and as a graduate assistant and recruiting coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe.
Da Prato fills the position previously held by Tanner Burns, who left in December after five years with the Razorbacks to become special teams coordinator at Liberty University for Coach Hugh Freeze. Burns is the son of former Arkansas player and assistant coach Keith Burns.

PLUMSTED – Making a difference, providing awareness and raising money were the goals of a unique fundraiser held at the Laurita Winery recently. The fundraiser was hosted by Jennifer Hansen, founder of Mettamade Yoga Events as a benefit for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.
Hansen's Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention yoga event was planned prior to the shocking suicide deaths of designer Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain. Their deaths once again brought to the forefront the topic of mental illness. Around 50 people took part in the $30 a ticket event and all proceeds went to the AFSP.
Hansen's client, Arielle Disick of Millstone Township, had a personal reason for attending the benefit. "I lost a friend to suicide. I think about him every day. I think about the time we spent together and the happy memories we shared. What was he going through in those times? What didn't I see? How could I have helped?
She added that she did not want to see her late friend's legacy be linked with suicide. "He was so much more. I think of how much pain he must have been grappling with. It was not his choice. You don't wear mental illness as you do physical diseases. He was so selfless. He had all that pain going on and was always willing to help others.
"We need to have the difficult conversations, we need to raise awareness, and we need to end the stigma around mental health issues," Disick said.
While Disick's story inspired the local event, it was only her first effort to help AFSP. She will be training this summer for the Chicago Marathon and run its 26.2 miles course for the organization.
To help Disick reach her fundraising goal, which are 100 percent tax deductible and will be fully matched, you can donate online. "The more awareness we raise, the stronger our impact," Disick said. The link to her donation page is afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=1515378.
AFSP New Jersey Director Elizabeth Roithmayr-Clemens recently attended AFSP's annual Advocacy Forum in Washington D.C. Suicide Prevention Programs and Initiatives.
"I traveled to Washington, D.C. along with more than 225 AFSP advocates from all 50 states to educate Congress on priority areas to help improve mental health and prevent suicide," Clemens said.
"We provided information to all 535 Congressional offices urging them to support legislation in five key areas that would play a vital role in preventing suicide and improving mental health across the country," Clemens said.
The five key areas include increased funding for suicide prevention research, insurance coverage for mental health and substance use conditions, military and veteran suicide prevention, preservation of funding for suicide prevention programs and increased funding for the National Suicide Prevention (800-273-8255 [TALK]) and Crisis Centers.
In 2004, the New Jersey legislature established the Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council ("Council") to advise and make recommendations to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for youth suicide reporting, prevention and intervention. DCF is the lead agency for youth suicide prevention in the state and provides staff support to the Council.
New Jersey Law charges DCF with developing and adopting a statewide youth suicide prevention plan, in consultation with the Council and the Department of Human Services; see the New Jersey Strategy for Youth Suicide Prevention (2015), bit.ly/2FGp64R.
Funded by DCF, the Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth Program at Rutgers-University Behavioral HealthCare offers support to professionals working with school-age youth and provides suicide prevention and trauma response assistance to schools after a loss.
The NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services' Suicide Prevention Committee developed the state's Adult Suicide Prevention Plan 2014-2017, bit.ly/2DwSJj7. The Suicide Prevention Committee has overall responsibility for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the plan.
New Jersey law requires that public school teaching staff members complete at least 2 hours of suicide prevention instruction per professional development period; instruction must be provided by a licensed health care professional with training/experience in mental health issues. The law also requires educators to report when they believe that a student has attempted or completed suicide; requires that suicide prevention be included within elementary, middle, and high school curriculum); and that institutions of higher education have health care professionals available 24 hours a day who focus on reducing student suicides and attempted suicide.

The design of the Nintendo 3DS was rendered back in 1983!
December 3, 2014	 Posted by	Bill Loguidice Editorial, History	1 Comment
Thanks to Kris Pyrz in the Facebook Group, I Am a Classic Videogamer, for the heads-up on a rendering of Palmtex's PVS handheld videogame system in the May 1983 issue of Video Game magazine. Here's what the bottom half of page 10 of that issue looks like:
To say the bottom of page 10 of the May 1983 issue of Video Games magazine is interesting is an understatement.
Notice anything familiar? Yep, it looks an awful lot like the Nintendo DS Lite (2006) and today's Nintendo 3DS handhelds:
Evan Amos's photo of the Nintendo DS Lite from Wikipedia.
Much like many of the artist renderings from back in the day, the final design of the released version of the PVS was not quite the same. In fact, it looked quite a bit different as you can see here and here (Bonus: Here's a video of one of its relatively impressive games in action!). Nevertheless, it's fascinating to note that what we think of as a relatively modern design had its roots relatively long ago. Of course, Nintendo clearly didn't take inspiration from Palmtex's rendering as they had their own Game & Watch handheld, shown below, with actual dual screens well before, but the similarities with the PVS rendering, despite its lack of a second screen, are still more striking.

As always, there's a lot to love about videogame history!

Garcia, Conor Kawalski, Mark Casimir Dyniewicz Jr., Hetty Chang, Courtney Stephens, Caden J. Lovgren, Malcolm Jae O'Shea
IMDB: Nope (2022)
Consequence - Clint Worthington
Jordan Peele's made a thrilling, exciting blockbuster that also touches on the nature of spectacle, and the ways artists get chewed up and spat out (in some cases, literally) by their work.
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
It doesn't hurt that Peele's latest boasts some of the most inspired alien design since H.R. Giger left his mark on the genre, or that Kaluuya's eyes remain some of Hollywood's most special effects, as "Nope" gets almost as much mileage from their weariness as "Get Out" squeezed from their clarity. It's through them that "Nope" searches for a new way of seeing, returns the Haywoods to their rightful place in film history, and creates the rare Hollywood spectacle that doesn't leave us looking for more.
Slashfilm - Chris Evangelista
Nope may not be Jordan Peele's best movie to date, but it is his most enjoyable. A true summer movie spectacle meant to be writ large across the screen, giving us thrills, chills, laughs, and that most precious of things: movie magic.
RogerEbert.com - Odie Henderson
It's a puzzle with a few pieces missing; standing back from it, you can still see the picture. But does it give the viewer exactly what they want? See the title.
Screen Rant - Ben Kendrick
Nope, Jordan Peele's movie about a bad miracle, offers a thrilling and humorous twist on Hollywood sci-fi - and serves as a love letter to filmmaking.
Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California bear witness to an uncanny, chilling discovery.

The Bros Landreth release new album today!
The acclaimed Canadian duo, The Bros. Landreth finally release their new album Come Morning, marking both a rebirth and refinement of the JUNO-winning band's blend of North American roots music and harmony-heavy soul. Listen HERE.
With a string of single releases already this year, The Bros. Landreth have been winning acclaim from the likes of MOJO Magazine, Maverick Magazine and Americana UK and many more, plus radio support from BBC Radio 2. To celebrate the release of the album the brothers release another new video, this time for the brilliant "Don't Feel Like Cryin" featuring Leith Ross.
The most immersive, emotive record of the Landreths' career, 'Come Morning' finds brothers Joey and Dave lacing their melody-driven songs with layers of atmospheric synth, organ, and textured guitar. The group's previous albums shone a light on their strength as a live act, capturing the spontaneity and sonic stomp of a band of hard-touring road warriors. If those records unfolded like snapshots of The Bros. Landreth's night-time shows, then 'Come Morning' sketches a markedly different picture, showcasing the introspection and clarity that comes with a long period of rest.
Forced to keep a tight circle due to Covid restrictions, Joey and Dave made 'Come Morning' in near-seclusion, pulling long hours in the studio and building songs one instrument at a time. They recorded, layered, stripped away, and layered again. Sounds were sampled, re-sampled, and twisted into something new. Prioritizing moody textures over fiery fretwork, Joey took an understated approach to the guitar, saving his big solos for key moments. He placed an equal emphasis on keyboards, beefing up the recordings with Hammond organ and analog synth. Slowly, steadily, the Landreths pieced together a transportive album built for the heart, the head, and the headphones. This time, the songs weren't the only thing telling a story; the sounds told a story, too.
This record marks a new dawn for The Bros. Landreth, whilst featuring appearances from Leith Ross (whose 2020 debut was released on the Landreth's record label, Birthday Cake) and drummers Aaron Sterling and Daniel Roy, at the album's core are the Landreths themselves: two born-to-collaborate brothers who sing songs about hard truths and new beginnings, having been brought back together during a time of unprecedented isolation.

One hundred years and one day ago a violent conflagration destroyed property and disrupted lives in our corner of Louisiana. Certainly, there have been many other disasters: floods, yellow fever and influenza epidemics, hurricanes in 1933 and 1957. Only very recently, we experienced Rita and Ike. So it can be said that the disasters are no strangers to us in Southwest Louisiana.
So what makes this particular disaster so unusual and why are we commemorating this particular recovery? I would suggest that this disaster was relatively compact and relatively complete. Not only did the fire clear out the early, in some cases original development in downtown Lake Charles, it also cleared out a particular nineteenth century notion of how cities work. Recovery from the Great Fire created for Lake Charles a completely new, modern way of building and using downtown.
The Great Fire was so intense, particularly here in the heart of downtown, that there was little to nothing left to restore. The photographs that document the fire show a bleak landscape of little more than fire-damaged chimneys. Literally, we were left with ashes, particularly at this intersection. The slate had been washed clean by the fire.
Both the police jury and city council decided early on to approach the recovery from several different angles at once. Immediately following the fire, the need for security was prime. The state militia, sheriff's department and city police kept up round the clock watches. The fire department went on special alert to monitor errant blazes from piles of ashes and rubble.
Revised, updated building codes were soon in place following a short moratorium on all types of construction in downtown. Fire codes and lists of suitable building materials, styles, and setbacks were reviewed and put into place. Missing documents were reconstructed from bits of existing records and from memory. It took well over a year to reconstitute property records and successions using materials that have been in the care of an abstracting company located away from the fire.
The actions of the paid fire department were reviewed as was the availability of water hydrants and water pressure. Unfortunately, Fire Chief Sudduth was fired, but the water company review passed muster as providing sufficient water pressure. Streets were cleared and the streetcar lines and electric utilities were reestablished in record time. The fire was deemed a natural disaster, given the dry gale-force winds and the totally unregulated, densely packed city of wood.
One of the early post-fire decisions was to abandon the alderman-mayor format of civic government. By 1912, Lake Charles began to operate on a commission basis, considered then to be a more modern, more progressive, business-like approach to civic government. The new commission form encouraged sound fiscal practice, and rejected waste and favoritism. The Commission form presided over the next two decades of rapid civic growth and improvement. In many respects, the city had matured and began to think of itself as a modern city worthy of all possibilities.
The economy diversified with investment in oil exploration and petrochemicals. Local entrepreneurs experimented with diversified agriculture including meat packing, citrus farming, and rice milling. The area made an early foray into aviation by competing for and getting Gerstner field as an army training site only 10 years after the Wrights invented the airplane. The city recruited the Philadelphia Athletics baseball team under Connie Mack to make Lake Charles its winter headquarters. Both the City and Parish cooperated in efforts to locally build and open the deep water Port of Lake Charles.
Within 6 years, downtown commercial Lake Charles had been largely rebuilt. New modern structures replaced many of the older surviving wooden buildings. Ryan Street was lined with new structures using both modern codes and fireproof materials. One of the best examples of this surge of new construction was the impressive Muller's Department Store building, at Ryan and Division, completed in 1913. Rail connections were strengthened with three active passenger and freight terminals in place. Potential firetrap structures were condemned. Streets and highways were improved as automobiles became more commonplace.
As to replacing civic architecture, the minutes of the City Council and the Police Jury showed that they were able to meet in a variety of locations immediately following the fire. The Majestic Hotel served as a surrogate courthouse and city hall for a time.
The decision to rebuild downtown was overwhelming and the decision to build better was made evident by the selection of the prestigious New Orleans-based architectural firm of Favrot and Livaudais for the principal commissions to replace lost buildings.
Favrot and Livaudais was a long-established firm with may civic, academic, and religious commissions throughout the South to their credit. In designing for this area's needs, the firm used traditional building styles but shaped the interiors for modern use. Strong and distinctive historically-based exteriors provided the big picture outline. As to the interiors, they would be shaped by function and utility. And of course, they selected brick, marble, terracotta, copper, bronze, tile, and other fireproofed materials that have stood the test of time.
The first commission completed was for the new City Hall. The building is Italianate in style with a central clock tower and tile roof. The design placed the new City Hall facing Ryan Street and surrounded by spacious grounds covering the entire block. No longer was the area chock-a-block with wooden frame structures.
Across Ryan, the city abandoned South Court Street to provide ample grounds for the new Courthouse. Favrot and Livaudais used the Classic Palladian style with columns, porticos, and a massive copper dome. The principal facade faced Ryan Street. There were once equally impressive entrances on the north and south as well, but these are now obscured by later additions.
These two important buildings were monumental in scale and designed to inspire and edify the common man and woman. The functions of city and parish government were elevated both literally and figuratively as the main entrances are not on the street level - the level of commerce and the everyday. Government functions were made special, spaces were grand and materials used were solid and real to allow the structures to withstand hard daily use and to impress both citizen and visitor. The buildings became the symbols of Calcasieu and of Lake Charles and represented strength and tradition.
To replace the Catholic Church and rectory, Favrot and Livaudais chose Romanesque-Lombard styling in a deep red brick. The new Immaculate Conception followed a classical outline with rounded arched windows and a distinctive bell tower.
In all, we are lucky to have these three remarkable, diverse and striking landmarks. Each of the three is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and these buildings are arguably the most significant architecture ever built in Southwest Louisiana. They are the physical evidence of a determined decision to build bigger and better after a challenging disaster.
The parish and the City commissioned the Favrot and Livaudais firm for additional new structures including Central School and the Ward Schools, Lock Park Pavilion, several private homes, and the Calcasieu Marine national Bank. In addition, the parish of Allen, chose this firm in 1912 to design a courthouse for their newly minted parish.
For many of the displaced families, the choice to rebuild was not a difficult one. A few families, like that of Judge Gorham, rebuilt new homes in place. And new residential areas of town were being developed and were readily available. Some families took the opportunity to start fresh in what is now called the Charpentier District just to the east of downtown. This area had been largely prairie fields. The oaks we now associate with this residential area were only saplings planted in years following the great fire.
Other residential areas developing included Baptist Meadows (the area around St. Louis School which was the site of the Louisiana Baptist Orphanage), and Margaret Place. The city had provided opportunity before the fire, and certainly with all the new construction, would provide opportunity again. The idea of residential suburbs ringing the central core of the city was firmly in place. Trolley lines were extended to serve these areas with lines on Hodges, Kirby and Kirkman as well as Ryan.
In conclusion, the architecture of recovery from the Great Fire was not only an architecture of buildings, grand as they may be, but also an architecture of ideas, opportunities, and symbols that created a stronger, better and modern city and parish.

Heroes of the Storm: Raynor… Is An Assassin?
Last week, I wrote an editorial for MMOs.com about Heroes of the Storm and the things it gets right. In that same week, I logged into HotS and acquired some new daily quests. One of which was to play a few games as a StarCraft character. According to my profile, I had not played any character from the StarCraft universe until that point. The character I decided to play to complete this quest was Raynor, the Renegade Commander. He's a fun character to play, but for being classified an "Assassin" he is constructed rather oddly. For today's post, I will intermingle my experience playing the character with the aspects of his design I think works, the aspects of his design that seem awkward, and I'll make some suggestions on how he could be changed.

It's all a bunch of media claptrap, I'm sure Capello and Harry are both fully aware of how the press likes to put spin on such stories.
No doubt Harry would approve if he was to be drafted in for the World Cup and train in a similar capacity to Spurs, after all once upon a time it was every footballers dream to play for their country..
53The blog was absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need.


The parallels between the lives of two Derby-born actors entertaining us on city stages this Christmas are too fascinating to ignore.
They have never met, but it would be lovely to think that they might find time to get together for a chat and share a story or two once this festive run is done and dusted.
Gwen Taylor, left, is playing The Enchantress in Beauty and the Beast at Derby Arena while Esme Sears, above, is taking on the role of the mischievious Tinkerbell in Peter Pan at Derby Theatre.
Gwen at 78 is a stalwart of the industry who won many hearts in the UK with her comic role as Peggy Armstrong in the hit TV series Heartbeat.
She has had guest roles in everything from Holby City to Inspector Morse and stage productions of Driving Miss Daisy and the Calendar Girls. She also had a part in the film Lady in the Van.
Despite her fame, Gwen always jumps at the chance to return to her home city.
"I enjoy coming back because everyone is always so lovely to me. They think of me as a local girl made good, and that is a nice feeling to have.
"I was thrilled when I was approached to be a part of Beauty and the Beast as it gives me a chance to do something out of the ordinary and ridiculous.
While at school in Derby, Gwen loved to perform and was in the Marlowe Players. She also had a small part in Jack in the Beanstalk at the Derby Playhouse, but there was never any question of her going to drama school at that time.
But ten years or so later she had put the bank behind her and followed her heart by enrolling at drama school.
By the age of 32 she was playing the 15-year-old pregnant schoolgirl, Jo in a Taste of Honey at the Crucible in Sheffield. It was one of her first big breaks and the rest, as they say, is history.
"It has always been an advantage that I looked younger than my age. It is one of the reasons I am still going at my age today," she said.
Esme echoed the sentiments of her elder peer.
"I am lucky that I look much younger than I am as it has helped me get parts like this," she said.
The actor was a pupil at Derby High School and from a very young age her parents encouraged her with dancing, singing and music lessons.
She danced on the stage at Derby Playhouse and was in the National Youth Choir at 17.
"However I was also encouraged academically and went down the very sensible science career path and I trained as a dentist.
"But I was torn between that and my creative side which was burning in the background.
"Eventually I decided that I was an artist and that was what I should be doing .
"My family always taught me that in life I could achieve anything I wanted, the mind is such a powerful thing and we should always follow our passions and dreams.
Esme decided to use the money she was earning as a dentist to put herself through drama school and follow her dream.
She doesn't regret gaining her dentristy skills, though, and she still practises occasionally if she is not working as an actor.
Since that day Sarah has encouraged and mentored the young actor and Esme says working with the artistic director and being a part of a team in a Derby Theatre production is the best way of learning.
Esme landed her first professional part in A Christmas Carol at the theatre in 2014, and the next year took the lead role in Cinderella.
"When I heard this year that they were doing Peter Pan I knew I wanted to be a part of it, and to have the part of Tinkerbell is just perfect for me. I love the complex character that she is.

She hasn't even played her latest sold-out concert in Belfast yet - but already Imelda May is planning another show at the same venue.
The rocker visits the city a fortnight tomorrow for a hotly-anticipated gig at the Waterfront where fans will expect to be wowed by her bold new look and stunning new album Life. Love. Flesh. Blood.
And many will have snapped up tickets for her Christmas show which go on sale at 9am on Thursday.
The Dublin singer shocked her army of fans – who count Bob Dylan and Jools Holland among their number – by ditching her trademark quiff and rockabilly licks last year before releasing the critically acclaimed fifth album.
It's perhaps Imelda's most personal album to date, and touches on the sort of dark subject matter that's inevitable following her split from husband and former bandmate Darrel Higham in 2015.
But on its release last month, she said: "I loved making this album – I put my heart and soul into it and it means the world to me.
And the new look didn't put fans off falling for her all over again and buying the album in their droves. It entered the UK charts in the top 5 and was narrowly pipped to the No1 spot in Ireland by Ed Sheeran.
Imelda May plays Belfast Waterfront on Wednesday, December 20.

Aidan Braccia's hard work pays off during his junior year, and he's just getting started
By Madisen Carter
Going into high school, Aidan Braccia had three goals: to win the league, division and state titles. During this past season, Braccia with Sacred Heart Prep crossed one of those goals off the list as he and the team won the Central Coast Section Division IV Championship in June.
As a junior, Braccia led Sacred Heart Prep to win its first CCS Championship since 2014 over The King's Academy 62-48. He had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
"It was a mix of being surreal while also the feeling of completing the task at hand," Braccia said.
With a CCS Championship, the Gators finished the 2020-21 season 15-7 overall and 10-2 in league. Braccia said that he believes Sacred Heart Prep had an edge over some of the other teams this year as he and his whole team were all close friends, and the team practiced hard throughout the whole year.
"I think we drove each other to get better, to work harder, to keep learning and to keep taking our mistakes that we make in practice or in games and learn from them," Braccia said.
Braccia finished his junior season with an impressive stat line of 474 points, 72 assists and 51 steals total. During the season he averaged 22.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
His successful season was the answer to all of his hard work he put in before the season during quarantine. He worked out with Unlimited Potential Basketball's Coach Packie Turner multiple times a week to improve his game.
"During that time [of quarantine] I was lucky to be able to go down to [the UPB] gym, whether it be in the morning, during the day, whenever," Braccia said. "That was really great. Being able to work on my game and work on other little things within my game multiple times a day and a lot during the week, I think [that] really helped me take a big step forward."
He said that he and Coach Packie worked a lot on off the screens as well as multiple reads, shots, floaters, pull up threes and more. Their training also included ball handling and change speed moves.
Coach Packie said that Braccia made a big jump this year and that it shows the most in his ability to shoot and finish, giving him the ability to score from all three levels. He mentioned it is great to see how Braccia has adjusted, how he knows how to run a team and how he has rounded out his game.
"Aidan has really expanded his game and [has] really become like a true point guard, which is kind of lost in today's game," Coach Packie said. "You know, point guards today are a lot more scoring first, and while he can score, he really can create and run an offense and set up the show, get guys going and have a good feel for what's needed."
Braccia's hard work continued to show throughout the season. He was selected to the All-Bay Area Team and was named to All-Bay Area News Group's Fab 25.
Currently, Braccia has four offers to take his game to the collegiate level. He has offers from the University of Hawaii, American University, University of Alabama at Birmingham and the most recent, San Jose State.
"It sounds selfish when people say that is a goal but it is a goal, you know, to go play college [ball] and to hopefully play after, so it was very rewarding and very fulfilling to be able to get those opportunities," Braccia said. "I love all the staff at all those schools and I'm thankful for them to take a chance on me, and you know hopefully I could do right by one of them."
Coach Packie said any college is going to be thankful and lucky to have Braccia on their team, and that he is a good teammate that helps those around him.
"Whatever college he goes to you're going to get a kid that's going to work extremely hard and be dedicated, focused and team oriented, and you're going to get that for four years," Coach Packie said. "He's a smart kid that takes school seriously as well as he does hoops. He's going to be just as focused on the court as he [is] off [the court] to be great."
Until school starts, Braccia has been continuing to get better this summer with his AAU team, West Coast Elite NorCal 17U. The team traveled to Cartersville, Georgia this past weekend to play in the UAA Session I tournament, and will travel to Frisco, Texas on Friday for Session II of the tournament.
Braccia said he has been on the team for about a year and a half, and says it has been a lot of fun. He enjoys playing against other really good basketball players to help improve his game, and he appreciates the opportunity to play in front of coaches.
"My plan is to take the opportunity by the horns and just kind of do my thing and do what I can to help myself, but also primarily help the team win, because that's what I love, I love winning," Braccia said.
As of now, the UAA tournament looks to be Braccia's last AAU tournament ever, and then it's back to high school ball for his final year. Braccia said one of his goals for his senior year includes winning an MVP of some sort, but his main target is crossing off that third goal on his list he had going into high school.
"[My goal] is to win a State Championship. I was able to get a League Championship my sophomore year, and I got a Section Championship this year," Braccia said. "So the third thing on my list is a NorCal or State Championship, which I think we have the capability to do. I think we're a very good team and what we have returning is very, very bright, so I'm excited to do that."
Radvile Autukaite: From a player to a member on the coaching staff
"The most important thing [is] everybody that works hard will get an opportunity at some point. I think my suggestion is trusting the process and being okay [with] starting at the bottom. Pay your dues… Look for that opportunity and when you receive [it], work hard and be patient with it. Enjoy the process of growing and learning instead of just expecting instant success."
Parent Testimonial: Anne Omura shares her daughter Mari's experience with UPB
"It's definitely worth it and it is a very long drive. A lot of people [say] 'You could find something closer for your kids,' but the benefit they get from it is beyond. You can't really quantify it in time or money. I just feel [that] it's such a positive confidence booster for them, and all three kids just feel good when they come out of there [and] they're smiling. It's increased their love for the sport, which I think is really important."
Parent Testimonial: Nelson Washington speaks on his son Dallas training at UPB
"They're invested in seeing him be successful on and off the court. So when he has struggles or some frustrations, it's been nice for them to give us some encouragement… You can't always get that from different places. UPB is just not just a training place, it's a community. They want to see kids achieve."
