I have been a die heart Blue Devils fan forever… And I’m not that old.. I still have a way to go in basketball. My dream is to play for duke, but more importantly hopefully one day play for Coach K.  In my family there has always been a basketball dream, yet no one follows through with it, they stop pursuing it. I am the only one who is actually wants to keep pursuing basketball, and my dream. I refuse to give up my dream. Coach K has had a big impact on my life… I see how hard he works his players, and I badly want something like that. Someone to be there and work with me, because anything with basketball and me, I’m doing myself. I see how much he cares for his players, and the school, and also I see what he does for the school and even outside of the school for the NBA. I’m a kid going into high school and I’m trying to get recognized for college early because I know how hard it is to try to get recognized by yourself, especially a D-1 and to recognized by a high known name like Coach K, when he has more important things to do then to listen to one person’s dream. I Have read most of his books, I have read so many of his quotes. Coach K is a great person and he is the one who has and still is helping me keep pursuing my basketball dream.
