Having a dream since you were a kid is something many of us had hoped to retain. Backpacks and Trapper Keepers filled with doodles and stickers and notes to friends about who we would grow up to be as adults were common in my generation. My backpack had my Young Astronauts patch attached to it. I remember wading through candy wrappers and pencil erasers at the bottom of my bag to find a note I had written my best friend about my adult sized dreams. She wanted to be a mom and I wanted to float in space. In a lot of ways, we both have accomplished those aspirations. What happens when you are a teenager and you actually achieve your number one goal? One day you’re walking through locker lined hallways and the next you have signed to play on a basketball team you have admired. Anthony Simons knows this scenario all to well. He was the kid with the Kobe Bryant dream to play professional basketball. The first step towards that is playing on the college level. So, what happened? Why is Anthony known as Coach Anthony? And how at the age of 21 does he already have 3 published books that have nothing to do basketball backboards? This motivational speaker’s story is one filled with family, dreams, sacrifice, and heartbreak.
