Can-Am Clinic's Don Meyer

The Can-Am On-Court Basketball Coaching Clinic had the distinct pleasure of hosting Coach Don Meyer two years ago. It was indeed an honor to present such a successful coach and engaging speaker to our attending coaches.

November 9th is a special day for Coach Meyer. Today marks the release of Buster Olney's book, entitled How Lucky You Can Be, (available at Amazon.com) that chronicles the life of Coach Meyer. He portrays the highs (graduating players, plus most wins) as well as the lows (the horrific car crash, discovery of cancer) of Coach's life and career. With the holidays coming, this book may be the perfect gift for somebody (even you)! Regardless, congratulations to Mr. Olney and Coach Meyer for their collaboration.

A video on Don Meyer

Three months after having the pleasure of hosting Coach Don Meyer at the Can-Am On-Court Basketball Coaching Clinic in June 2008, we received horrific news - Coach Meyer had been in a terrible accident. Coach touches the lives of everybody with whom he has contact. This video, produced by ESPN for their E:60 features (narration by author Buster Olney), chronicles Coach Meyer, his outstanding impact on lives, and his recovery from his September 2008 collision - it is a "must watch":
