Charlie Ward will return to the Park once again in 2003 to do what he has become known for outside of his professional NBA career with the New York Knicks—reaching out and making a difference in the lives of young people. The former Heisman Trophy winner, at Florida State University, he has embraced his responsibility both as an athlete and a role model, giving back unselfishly to the young athletes who aspire to follow him into the NBA. The secrets of running the point, shooting and passing are some of the technical aspects of the camp that include a healthy dose of game experience. It is Charlie’s message that many will come to hear. He explains that achieving success in basketball goes beyond raw talent and will—extending to the personal character values and spirituality that athletes must master off the court to be successful on it. Other Guests and Coaching Staff Include: Lowes Moore, a former NBA player will be at the camp to share his insight on the game and coach camp, as well. Danny Copeland, a former defensive back with the Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins is scheduled to make an appearance. Danny grew up working as hard at basketball as he did at football,bringing a powerful message to campers about work ethics and success. Sean Jones is the former staring quarterback for Georgia Tech and has played basketball on the international level. Sean will again be a coach at this year’s camp. Keith Johnson, currently the chaplain for the Minnesota Vikings, will be attending camp and sharing his experiences of working with NFL players.
