David Aim Goes to Europe

David Aim started out as a dreamer just like everyone else. David was not near to becoming a basketball pro back during his younger years, in terms of physique and skills. But after a lot of practice, growth, development and motivation, Mr Aim is now recognized by many for his basketball skills, especially by the high school students whom he coaches.

David Aim played basketball during his college years at the University of Kentucky. However, being lanky with his basketball skills still developing, Mr Aim was put on the bench most of the time. David further shares that it was very frustrating for most of his collegiate playing career because David never got good enough to see more playing time.

When David Aim finally received his diploma, David initially felt like his dreams were doused with cold water because it seemed like no scouts showed any interest in him. In fact, he shares that he was about to give up on his dreams when he decided to try out for a semi-professional basketball team. Fortunately, Mr Aim was selected among many by the Kentucky Steers in 1997 as their power forward.

At first, David Aim was still not so good because he was still on his learning stage, but he gradually showed improvement in his performance and basketball skills. After hard work and motivation for two seasons, David was sent to play pro basketball in Europe.
