LEROY COOPER, JR (President)
Being around the game of basketball has always put me in a place of tranquility and that’s why I have this miraculous passion for the game. I quickly understood the importance of preparation, hard work, and respect. I applied these values to my endeavors by making an outlet that helped me earn a BA in Business Administration from Purdue University Northwest. Assisting on and off the court has always been a key component to who I was as an individual. I truthfully get more satisfaction from helping people compared to helping myself. My upbringing has completely supported my development and I am very thankful for it.
As an organization we pride ourselves on being strong advocates for inspiration, integrity, accountability, diligence, perseverance, and discipline. Involving the next generation in life skills courses, job readiness, athletic training sessions and community service events reflect the beliefs of the company. I’m honored to be in a position to give back in a major way because it is something that I’ve dreamed about. I am truly blessed to be the President for a company that only wants to change lives for the better. God gets all of the glory for the vision.
