Along with fundamental skills like ballhandling, passing, and defense, there’s an additional panel at the camp focused on mental health, raising awareness of the issue amongst parents, while educating them on warning signs and ways to find support for their kids.
“The struggles of some NBA players like DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Love, they just came out talking about their issues,” said Delon of the camp’s more holistic approach to development. “I think if we start teaching them young as they get older it might help. Even if it’s one kid out of everybody, you’re still helping one kid, and that’s all that matters.”
