Very excited about sending my kids to the camp until I saw that it is for boys only. Why? Totally disappointed on many different levels. I hope Jeremy sees this and recognizes the message he is sending to a large segment of his fan base.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that if you don't understand why there are boys camps and girls camps, you need more than a camp to help you.
ReplyDeleteLin would not run a girls camp, he does not know anything about it.
But to put it succintly, boys do not want to waste their time playing with girls, and fathers don't want to waste money for their sons to play with girls.

Have you ever been to any of these camps?
ReplyDeleteThey run boys and girls camps separately and maybe have a talk here and there with all. Just look at the photos and you'll see how it is.
The actual camps are run by local boys and girls coaches, not the NBA stars. Lin does not earn enough money yet to organize multiple camps like the ones you reference, it's that simple. He is not 'sending a message'; he's doing the smart thing which is start simple and grow the camp later when you have enough resources to farm it out to a management organization.
I think what Mort meant is why doesn't his camp include men over 18 years of age so that he could go too. =)
ReplyDelete$350 is highway-robbery. This is a camp for Rich Kids.
