Welcome to Geek Ave.

Do you have a particular sport obsession? An obsession with something you tend to lose track of time while doing? Do you have an undying commitment to the sport you love, be it bowling, weight training, running, or shooting hoops? If you're fanatical about the object of your obsession and always willing to put in extra effort to master it, you'll stand out, rather than fit in here at Geek Ave.!

I am Stephanie Douglas. Most of you know me as the Dribbling Geek, former professional basketball player in Europe and former Dribbler for the world's famous Harlem Globetrotters. I toured with the trotters for one season before deciding to return to Europe to finish my basketball career in Spain. I thought I was choosing to leave entertainment basketball to re-pursue competitive basketball, but in the midst of competing, I still found myself spinning a ball on my finger. Why? I became obsessed! Long hours of repetitive ball handling drills, basketball tricks, and half court shots became an enjoyable 4-6 hour per day norm for me.

Still today, that same "trotter" norm lives within. If I spot a basketball, I tend to always get this sudden urge to catch it on my back, dribble it, and spin it. I still spend hours in a day dribbling and sometimes have to force myself to end the session. I can still spend 15-20 minutes a day studying my favorite ball handlers on social media and afterwards feel inspired enough to work harder the next day on my own dribbling ability.

Even as a retired professional, I enjoy the process of mastering my craft and if you're a go-getter with daily aims to master your craft, I support you too! I encourage all athletes and coaches to become experts of their craft. I encourage you all to be an enthusiast of your craft. Become an avid learner, a sports fan who appreciates hard-work and most of all one that supports the geeks on Geek Ave..
