A huge thank you to my amazing illustrator, @aprilhartmanncreations, for bringing Be a Baller Today! to life! April captured the heart, energy, and joy of this story more beautifully than I could have imagined.

The idea for this book really started years ago, when my kids were young. I read that Jim and John Harbaugh’s dad encouraged his family to “attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind,” and I loved that inspiring message for kids.

Over time, that idea became a simple phrase in our house as everyone headed out the door: “Attack the day!” Eventually, it evolved into “Be a baller today!”

It was never just about sports. It was about confidence, courage, kindness, trying hard things, cheering for others, and showing up with heart.

Thank you, April, for helping turn a family phrase into a book we can now share with ballers everywhere. BaBT by @beaballertoday

Growing up, I loved the imagination and encouragement found in Dr. Seuss books. Those stories and quotes helped inspire the heart behind Be A Baller Today - encouraging kids to be kind, work hard, and believe in themselves. ❤️👊🏻 BaBT

One of my favorite pages in Be a Baller Today! features a very special legend - Margo/Delores - our neighborhood turkey. 🤍

There are so many fun and meaningful little easter eggs tucked throughout this book, and she is definitely one of them. A sweet tribute to a one-of-a-kind part of our neighborhood. RIP, Margo. #BaBT by @beaballertoday

The message behind the book Be a Baller Today! is simple:

Be brave.
Be kind.
Keep going.

Soon kids will be able to practice that message every day in The Baller Club ⭐ - a new app inspired by the book that celebrates kindness, courage, and grit.

Coming soon. 🚀 BaBT by @beaballertoday
