My last performance in Phoenix was on Saturday, August 9 at the Phoenix Mercury basketball clinic. The Mercury players were on hand to teach the kids the fundamentals of the game. The first session was for ages 8-13 and there were nearly 70 kids participating! The second session was for ages 14-18 and accommodated around 30 kids. The Mercury players and coaches did an excellent job of instructing the kids on different skills such as shooting, passing, rebounding, ball handling, etc.
I had about 10 minutes at the end of each session to show my stuff. It was a great crowd. Everyone was very enthusiastic and even the parents enjoyed the show. After the first session the younger kids were even asking for my autograph and a picture!
This was the first time the Mercury players and coaches had seen my show. I always like performing in front of good players because they are always impressed. When I'm performing in front of them I try to incorporate more of the dribbling series so they can pick up something they like and try it later.
This was a great way to end my summer in Phoenix - with two great shows!
