West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease)
May 12, 2009 - Youth participation in sports has been linked to boosting self-esteem, team building, and healthier lifestyles, James Taylor of Taylored Athletes hopes to add coping with difficult financial times to that list. Taylor has launched the Power of One Program which offers free motivational seminars to local organizations with kids effected by financial crisis. Taylor, a former professional basketball player and local All-American graduate of Lynn University, is one of the countries most sought after basketball skill development trainers.
"As parents lose jobs, and families are displaced due to foreclosure, many kids in South Florida are effected by the recession and don't know how to cope" says Taylor. The free motivational speaking seminars combine basketball drills and coaching into a exciting experience motivating kids to build personal strength physically and mentally. Helping kids believe in the power of themselves, is the philosophy of Taylored Athletes Basketball Training and Taylor believes the lessons of basketball can help kids cope with these uncertain times.
Launching the first in a number of scheduled youth outreach seminars on May 4th 2009, Taylor delivered the message of, "Believe, Achieve, and Claim Your Success" to twenty-four youth who attend the Florence Fuller Child Development Center in Boca Raton, Florida. "I believe that we all have a duty to share our gifts, knowledge, and time with each other. Often times we under estimate the power of "One" and how one kind word, one special coach, or one positive experience can change the life of a child instantaneously", said Cheryl Sampson a parent of one of the participants.
Taylored Athletes is gearing up for their summer basketball camp programs for youth ages 7-17. To further assist parents with the big financial stress of paying for summer camps for their kids Taylors sports camps offer free lunch, and reduced weekly rates. The Taylored Athletes Next Level Basketball Camps sessions begin, Monday June 8th and will be offered consecutive each week through July 3rd.
