11 PARTING SHOTS NSU GRADUATE IS AN ENTREPRENEUR BRANDON WOLLASTON, NSU 17 Good morning Professor Olson, I am glad that you offered to help me spread the word of my new venture! Players Only Basketball will be a basketball training brand that I want to build up a travel basketball program. Mission Statement: "My mission is a player centric and player driven organization. The goal is to empower and teach players how to take control of their own development, their goals, and their success as both a individuals and a team. Teaching players to focus on what they can control and not let circumstances they can't control hinder SAVE their THE growth. DATE Most importantly, teaching players to NEVER be afraid of failure." I started a Go Fund Me page to help me raise start up costs. I attached the link for that as well as my logo. Note from Professor Olson: Congratulations to Brandon and we encourage all of our NSU students, both graduates and undergraduates, to share what you are doing so that we can support you.
