BASKETBALL COACHES CLINIC

I had a great time shooting one of the Atlanta Hawks recent special events. The Hawks offer a special basketball coaches clinic to any coach hoping to brush up on their skills from some of the best in the business. The wide array of coaches had a blast touring the Hawks facilities–everything from their locker rooms to the practice court. They were also given special coaching tips from the Hawks assistant coach Jim Todd.

HOCKEY WEEKEND ACROSS AMERICA

The local hockey community is supported by a ton of great events put on by the Thrashers and Atlanta Spirit. Hockey kids from around the state were lucky enough to participate in a cross-ice game held during intermission at a recent Thrashers game at Philips Arena as part of the Hockey Weekend Across America. Needless to say the kids were pretty stoked about skating in front of such a large audience…and a little nervous too! After the game, the kids got to chat with several Thrashers players as well as get all of their various jerseys, sticks and pucks signed.
