LIFE WITH PRICE: THE UNBREAKABLE CYCLE

by Mike Ladd

Growing up in poverty, Kamar Price fights through a lot of obstacles to achieve his goals on and off the basketball court. With his elite skills and motivation, he is determined to be the best ball player he can be. Caught up in the streets, he struggles to stay consistent in school and finds himself headed down the wrong path. With little to no guidance, he attempts to turn things around and change for the better. As an African American male, growing up in America, he looks to beat the statistics and make a difference.
