An Interview with Harlem Globetrotters TNT and Buckets

While I was at the Girl Scouts National Leadership Convention in Houston, TX, and had the opportunity to "score" an interview with two members of the legendary basketball team, The Harlem Globetrotters.  I met with "TNT" and Buckets" to discuss the impact that practice has on their game.  It was no surprise that they work hard to sharpen their skills.  They practice two hours before every game, which is no little task.  They play about 270 games per year!  Further, they urge all young people to believe in themselves.  Confidence.  They are an equal opportunity sports powerhouse, too, as TNT is the 9th woman to wear the team's trademark red, white, and blue uniform.  Although she is the first woman in 19 years to make the team, the first woman to ever play for a professional men's basketball team was also a globetrotter (Hall of Famer Lynette Woodard).  So to all the aspiring athletes out there-  take it from Buckets and TNT-  have confidence and work hard!  It reminds me of a quote from Hollywood mogul Samuel Goldwyn, "The harder I work, the luckier I get!"
