Teaching From Experience
Doug Wiggins is one of the most accomplished basketball players to ever come out of the richly talented Central Connecticut region. In high school Wiggins earned the honor of being named a top 50 player in the NATION and received Connecticut Gatorade Player of the year after leading the state in scoring JR and SR season. He played in the Michael Jordan all star game as well as participated in the famous ABCD camp and NBA top 100 camp. At the ABCD camp he was named one of the MVP’s of the All Star game. Wiggins earned a full scholarship to UCONN (multiple division 1 offers) where he played two years under Hall of Fame Coach Jim Calhoun. Wiggins went on to play at Mountain State where he lead them to the NAIA National Championship and received 2nd team all American. He eventually went on to play professionally Overseas (Portugal,Finland,Poland,France,Denmark,Slovakia) where he has won multiple championships and personal awards. This kind of Resume represents someone who did not let his talent go to waste despite the setbacks throughout the journey! I'd want my child to join this program with expectation of my child learning how to deal with adversity that comes with life!
