Jason Gibbons, known on the court as “White Shadow,” visited St. Brigid School on January 29th to demonstrate basketball tricks and motivate students to achieve their goals. He spoke to both the upper and lower grades in two separate programs.
Mr. Gibbons, who has performed for schools around the country, opened his programs by wowing the crowds with an exciting collection of basketball stunts. He invited a number of students to participate as well. Later, he spoke to the groups about not letting anything pull them from the path toward their personal goals. “Don’t do just enough to get by,” he advised. “Put in the work.”
Mr. Gibbons also reminded students to be grateful for what they have and of being Christians, describing how his own faith has helped him achieve great things in life. He suggested they be unafraid to take action, especially in the face of bullying. “Stand up from the crowd and find the strength to do what’s right.”
