Blackburn here he comes!

 Any reason for the team to get together for a couple brews and a slice of ‘zah is a good one. But when it’s to celebrate one of our own making it big in the States – it doesn’t get much better!

A huge congrats to Dolphinz member Ugo Pierantoni, who has just landed a one year basketball scholarship at Blackburn College, Illinois. And a huge adventure for this long time club member to take in his stride come August 16th, when he and his father set off on the start of this amazing journey!

 After a quick Google search, it doesn’t take long to realise Ugo has a good head on his shoulders, and the right attitude to make the most of this hard earned opportunity. When asked a while ago on what advice he could give any young players, he had this to say; (http://www.westlakebasketballtour.co.nz/team/ugo-pierantoni-0)

“Always put 100% into your practices and your matches out of respect both for the game of basketball and for yourself as an athlete (plus, you just never know who’s watching). And remember, “It is discipline, not desire, that determines your destiny,” (Dru Joyce II, LeBron James’ high school coach).”

 He’s clearly taken his own advice, and it’s paid off big time.

Please join us for congratulatory drinks and pizza at The Breakers Gym, 9pm Monday August 10th

(after practice. Work hard, then play hard… right Ugo?)
