Our Story
“Do you remember XXXX from high school?”
“Oh yeah, wasn’t she my biggest fan?”
“Woah, what?! She was MY biggest fan! She like waited for me after games outside the locker rooms, man.”
My wife, Jessica, rolls her eyes and loudly mumbles “Ugh, here we go again… Sean’s glory days…”
The name started off as a joke. Something my wife likes to throw at me when I start talking about my high school basketball days. Sometimes, when I think about it, I can’t believe it’s been 8 long years since my last HS ball game…
After college, I played in a lot of different leagues in Los Angeles. It became an escape from reality, an outlet, a social event, a way for me to reconnect with the younger me, when i had no worries. Life was so simple back then – all I knew and wanted was the spotlight…the girls and the glory, and not in any particular order.
We will never get to relive our “Glory Days” once they pass, but it’s okay because it will always be a part of who we are. It’s something that all ball players in the world can relate to from the heart…
In the hopes of keeping onto those last few strands of shredded memories, we created Glory Days Basketball League (now GDS Basketball League), for the guys that still loved basketball, 10 years and 25 pounds later…
Fast forward to today, Glory Days Sports (formerly GDB) has now expanded into Academy & Training for kids of all ages with our professional coaches from all across the globe. With the birth of our first born in 2012, we also discovered an even younger age group of kids who are natural born athletes.
Essentially, Glory Days Sports (GDS) applies to men, women, grandparents, children, babies of all ages who see “sports” as part of their everyday lives. GDS is about “community” and “family” and that’s what we’ll always stand for. We hope you’ll become part of us in some way or another and we thank you for giving us the chance. See you on the courts!
