BUILT TO INSPIRE
“The best thing you can do for a person is inspire them. The best currency you can offer is inspiration” – Nipsey Hussle
The development of 4th Quarter Training Inc. was amused by the redirection of childhood aspirations, hoop dreams. With foiling experience being the best teacher and faith being the lantern to the path of redirection, our founder and chief executive officer, Marcus Gillyard, personalized his experience and passion for the game of basketball into a symbol of charity & love, faith, leadership, discipline & persistence.
" For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. That is why we labor and strive..."
-1st Timothy 4:8 - 10
