I’m spending a couple days back in my “hometown” of Eau Claire, WI before speaking at Eddie Andrist’s Coaches Clinic on Saturday at Stout. Last night I was out to eat with a couple friends and during dinner a gentleman walked over to our table with his son. I quickly realized that his son was wearing our “Mike Lee Basketball” camp t-shirts! I recognized the boy who has been attending our camps for the past 3 years and had a short conversation with him and his dad. Before the left to go sit back down he pulled out a Sharpie and asked me to sign his camp t-shirt. I was shocked and humbled to say the least. My point is that you never know when you can influence someone’s day, week, month or life. Several people who I know read this blog are in a position to influence whether you like it or not. I challenge you to take that responsibility seriously. While I agree with Charles Barkley that parents should be role models, a kid can never have too many positive role models. You never know what kind of impact you can make. I have had so many people make huge impacts on me (Forrest Larson, Ganon Baker, Dave MacArthur, Eddie Andrist and my parents) to name a few. I can never thank them enough for everything they have done for me!
