Can Basketball Save America?

New Book, “Improving America One Basketball Game at a Time”

Released by Jamar Johnson Reveals that it Indeed Can!

Tempe, AZ:“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.
