Derek Anderson gave a motivational speech entitled 'Stamina' at UB last week.
"Former NBA player, Derek Anderson delivered a Motivational Speech on Entrepreneurship to basketball players and members of the surrounding areas of Belmopan on August 8 at the Jaguar Auditorium, University of Belize, Central Campus, Belmopan. He is one of 13 players who've won an NBA Championship in 2006 with the Miami Heat, and an NCAA Championship. Growing up poor and without parents who had left him to the streets, Derek found his inner self-motivation that led to his success as a producer, philanthropist, inventor and author. His inspirational story is detailed in his book titled 'Stamina.' Derek’s visit to Belize is to reach out and help others who have found themselves in similar situation as he did. He retired from the NBA in 2008."
The idea of life after basketball is a reality for all athletes. I had the privilege of sitting with Derrek Anderson several months ago as he presented his new book "Stamina". It is a relative word that means so much than sports conditioning. In order for any and all athletes to be successful, they must possess "Stamina" off the court as well.
