Fueled by Passion: Meet Coach Isom and His Inspirational Book Bleakwood
At Game Time Sports, our passion for basketball goes beyond the court. It's about inspiring young athletes, fostering teamwork, and nurturing a love for the game. This dedication is personified by our founder and head coach, Cedric Isom, whose passion extends to the world of storytelling through his published book, Bleakwood.
Bleakwood delves into the journey of Wes Izem, an undersized small-town boy with aspirations of reaching the NBA. Facing challenges and self-doubt, Wes finds solace and strength on his dirt court, where he battles "elements of surprise" conjured by his own mind. The story is a captivating exploration of perseverance, chasing dreams, and the mental fortitude required to overcome obstacles.
Coach Cedric's book not only reflects his love for the game but also serves as an inspiration to young players facing their own battles. It's a testament to the power of dedication, hard work, and believing in yourself, both on and off the court.
