We Ballin' What I Learned from LaVar Ball about Basketball, Business, and Bravado【電子書籍】[ Marissa D Mitchell ]
＜p＞An unauthorized sports biography, We Ballin’: What I learned from LaVar Ball about＜/p＞ ＜p＞Basketball, Business, and Bravado centers on the rise in fame and fortune of LaVar Ball, father of＜/p＞ ＜p＞the Ball brothers and founder of the Big Baller Brand. It is told from the perspective of Marissa＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mitchell, former prot?g? and later biographer and publicist for LaVar Ball.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written from Marissa’s viewpoint, the story begins with a twelve-year-old girl aspiring to＜/p＞ ＜p＞play basketball. Her father seeks out a coach to explore his book-smart daughter’s athletic prowess.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He ended up finding a loud, boisterous local man named LaVar Ball. Mr. Ball put her through a＜/p＞ ＜p＞tough, disciplined training program that honed her body while she often played one-on-one＜/p＞ ＜p＞basketball with his small children. During that time, LaVar confided in her his dreams to make his＜/p＞ ＜p＞three sons NBA players using a similar training method. Although she decided not to play＜/p＞ ＜p＞basketball in college, instead taking the academic route, she and her father kept in contact with＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Ball throughout the years. With her background in English and teaching, she later contacted＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Ball with the offer to write his biography. It was the year the three “Ball Brothers” took their＜/p＞ ＜p＞public high school basketball team to the California State Championship.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Ball was very enthusiastic to have Marissa back in the fold of the Ball family. Several＜/p＞ ＜p＞in-person interviews ensued, excerpts of which are included in the manuscript. During those＜/p＞ ＜p＞interviews, Marissa was asked to assume more responsibilities for the growing family business＜/p＞ ＜p＞(Big Baller Brand and Big Baller Media) with the understanding her compensation would be＜/p＞ ＜p＞retroactive, with a solid contract at the end of the year 2017. Marissa eagerly accepted the challenge＜/p＞ ＜p＞and with the biography almost completed and having worked countless hours pro bono (ending＜/p＞ ＜p＞with Lonzo Ball being drafted to the Lakers), Marissa was then fired by LaVar Ball’s new manager.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As she comes to terms with being fired and dealing with the complicated emotions that＜/p＞ ＜p＞resulted from her one-time role model having her dismissed, she began to see LaVar for what he＜/p＞ ＜p＞truly is. She saw firsthand how money, fame, and success can affect people who seem to have your＜/p＞ ＜p＞back. In her story, Marissa provides a chronological look at how the business grew and the Ball＜/p＞ ＜p＞brothers evolved into pro basketball players. She examines the many controversies LaVar Ball＜/p＞ ＜p＞found himself inーfrom his sons arrest in China to his Twitter war with Donald Trump.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through it all, this idealistic young woman learned that people are not always the way they＜/p＞ ＜p＞appear on the outside. And more importantly, through challenges and difficult situations, personal＜/p＞ ＜p＞growth can come along when you least expect it. Interestingly enough, after everything she went＜/p＞ ＜p＞through, Marissa learned a lot about herself and more importantly, she ended up with the exact＜/p＞ ＜p＞things she admired in the Ball family: her own family, a growing career, and a renewed sense of＜/p＞ ＜p＞self.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
