Jason Ludwig: Helping Underprivileged Youth Through Basketball GANAS! Leading from the Heart

    • Non-Profit

Proving that great coaches do more than blow whistles and plan strategy, Jason Ludwig strives to make an even greater impact off the court. As an assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Santa Clara, Ludwig has helped the program to five winning records and coached 11 all-conference players. But it’s off the court where he’s really had an impact, especially when it comes to underprivileged youth. Ludwig co-founded the Coaches Social at the Final Four, a premier event geared toward networking hundreds of coaches across the nation. Ludwig is president and founder of the Latino Association of Basketball Coaches, which provides support, education and networking opportunities to Latino coaches worldwide. In 2005, Ludwig created JL Hoops Camp, to give youth from low socio-economic environments a free basketball camp  in his hometown of Montebello (East Los Angeles).
