A few days ago, former Georgetown head coach, John Thompson, returned to familiar surroundings – the sidelines, for the first time since he retired 12 years ago. Wearing his signature white towel draped over his shoulder, the legendary coach was back to teach dozens of high school basketball players the fundamentals of the game and life as part of a “POWERADE game science clinic.”
Coach Thompson kicked it off by talking to the group about the importance of training and hydration, the science behind the game, work ethic, education and character. Then Thompson and his staff led the group through some drills as well. Prior to all of this, The Hoop Doctors had the privilege of chatting with the Hall of Famer about a bunch of basketball related topics.
