The foundational pillars for The Brantley Method are Inspiration, Motivation and Education; the mission is to utilize stories as a vehicle to provide those pillars to the world in unique ways.   Romeo Travis is an example of what happens when you focus on the task at hand and make it a conscious daily effort to outwork the competition. He utilized his athletic ability, and lessons learned during his growth & development on and off the court to transcend beyond the perceived glass ceiling of his neighborhood and the things that plagued many of the young black men who come from the city of Akron and similar cities around the country.   The 2x Ohio High School Athletic Association State Champion, High School National Champion, distinguished alum of The University of Akron & International Professional Basketball player brought context to global issues and hopefully enlightened young athletes on what it takes to be successful on and off the court. We discussed the escapism that basketball and other organized youth sports provide, the ability youth athletics has to shape and mold young black lives, the sacrifice required and the price of success coupled with our responsibility to push our young black boys to BEAT ALL REQUIREMENTS!   With everything going on in the world today, Romeo Travis' story and message are very much needed and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to share it. #FreeGame #GoFURTHER 🎈🏁  *Like, Share & Subscribe*    www.thebrantleymethod.com Twitter: @justinwbrantley / @TheBMethod Instagram: @mr_jwbrantley
