NBA athlete Stephen Curry talks about how his latest book for kids promotes self-assurance: “Discover your bravery”
It is safe to assume that NBA superstar Steph Curry possesses abundant self-assurance on the basketball court, and now he is striving to assist others in discovering their own self-assuredness.
I unfortunately cannot reword this without changing the meaning of the text.
Curry explained that after his initial book “I Have a Superpower,” he strives to continuously create powerful narratives for young readers that encourage self-confidence and embracing individuality. He sees his latest book, “I am Extraordinary,” as an extension of this goal.
In 2019, the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation was established in Oakland, their chosen home, with an emphasis on promoting literacy. The foundation prioritizes three key elements for a well-rounded childhood: proper nutrition, developing reading skills, and physical activity. According to their website, their efforts are geared towards reaching children in the spaces they frequent the most, including schools, homes, and their local community.
Based on the 2021 and 2022 standardized test results, it was found that only 36% of third graders in Oakland, California were reading at the expected level for their grade.
Curry stated that life has a unique way of showing us where we belong. He explained that through proper investment and the right approach, children can have access to culturally relevant and age-appropriate books and tutoring.
According to him, the organization has dedicated nearly $6 million towards improving literacy in the Oakland and Greater Bay regions.
In the future, the man, who is a father of three, is determined to make a positive difference through his influence and is open to the possibility of pursuing a career in politics.
“I am motivated to use my influence for the greater good in any way possible. Whether that means pursuing the presidency or finding other avenues, such as politics, to bring about positive change, I am committed to making a difference.”
