Though a career in basketball is the main focus of our program, we recognize just how important it is to prepare for life after the game. As such, Rise and Grind’s connections extend into other services as well. We recognize just how critical mental health is for overseas hoopers. Therein, we also stay grounded and focused on other aspects of life besides the game. Specifically, we host weekly Zoom calls on faith based and financial matters for all those interested. At times, we can act as an extended family of sorts for hoopers.
