=========================================================

April 20 2023---Team TakeOver, our AAU boys basketball program had Media Day 2023 in the PC West HS gym. Program Administrator and Reach Forward Co-Founder Fredrick Montgomery came up with this creative idea to help these young men practice in case they make it to the college and/or NBA level where Media and Draft Days are a really big deal. In these situations, young players are thrust into the limelight often with little or no preparation. Therefore Team TakeOver's Media Day included ample opportunity to practice their communication skills through mock press and pre- and post-game style interviews, a photo station, 360 photo station to simulate the creation of jumbotron player animations and a pep talk from OK County's first African-American Sheriff, Tommie Johnson III. Team TakeOver is much more than basketball so we always strive to provide opportunities to shape their character as well. Visit the Photo Gallery at the top to check out Media Day 23 photos.
