YOU’RE INVITED
FLYER
What’s up, it’s Dame Lillard.
I’m honored to invite you to be a part of the Formula Zero community. You are one of 20 high school and 20 college athletes that are being invited to the first annual Formula Zero camp in Portland from August 3-7, 2022. Please follow the directions below to complete your registration.
I built Formula Zero to teach elite-level on-court skills and character development. I want to make an impact. To build a community of obsessive and relentless people who do things differently. Who follow a Formula. Who don’t skip steps, whose confidence is real, who look out for each other, and who don’t take no for an answer. This isn't just a camp, it’s the start of a year-long mentorship program connecting players and coaches.
The Formula is something that I’ve built my career on . . . Character + Hard Work + Accountability.
Accountability is one of the toughest things to have when you are dealing with ups and downs, but we are here to push you because we know this is important for your development. You should know that this is not always going to be fun. It’s not going to be easy. It’s not always going to be a great time, but our intentions are to get the best out of each one of you.
Only Pitbulls here, no Poodles. Pitbulls and Poodles can’t be in the same kennel.
I’ll see ya’ll soon,
