Tempe, AZ (September 15, 2015):- “Improving America One Basketball Game at a Time: How An Amateur-Based Basketball Company Is Making A Positive Impact On People, Communities, And Business, And You Can Too!” by Jamar Johnson puts a new spin on one of America’s most beloved sports.

Community Basketball Leagues are active across America, changing towns and cities one player at a time. This book by the league’s founder and chief commissioner gives the inside story of how and why the CBL started and how they are using basketball as a tool to reach into communities and improve America.

More than a Game
“This is more than a game,” said Johnson. “Our goal is more than keeping kids off the streets for a few hours. We are using the incredibly popular game of basketball to be a positive influence on young people and increase their sense of self-worth and create a new basketball business economy.”

With the right approach, coaches can do much more than show players how to make a good shot on the basketball court. They can teach life skills and instill positive attitudes to build community leaders who can make a real difference. They can turn lives around.

The Inside Story
In “Improving America One Basketball Game at a Time”, Johnson spells out how the CBL is effective, sharing tips including the “10 weapons of community influence” to understanding the role of economics.

“Basketball stirs up real passion,” Johnson said. “That love of the game reaches across all boundaries. Basketball transcends difference and gives kids a chance to succeed and see their own potential.”

In the book, Johnson gives sound and detailed advice about using basketball as an icebreaker to reach young people, teaching players to take what they learn from the game and apply to life off the court, and being an effective coach and community superstar. With testimonials from CBL players, this volume shows how and why the Community Basketball Leagues really are improving America, one community at a time.
