THUNDERBIRD BASKETBALL STAR TO SHARE HIS "RELENTLESS" STORY

 

OREM, UT - Former Thunderbird basketball player Dax Crum was born with only one hand. But that didn't prevent him from achieving his life goals. In the new book, Relentless, Dax teaches readers about the drive that led him to endless possibilities in sports and life. Even when a coach at a basketball camp told him, "one-handed boys don't play basketball," Dax found a way to show every coach and player around that he could not only play, but excel at the sport.

Dax will be sharing his story during Saturday's Southern Utah basketball game. He will be signing books prior to the women's game and after the men's game.  He is available to talk with before and after the game.

Dax was a McDonald's High School All-American, gained a full-ride soccer scholarship from Arizona Western College and eventually a spot on the basketball team at Southern Utah University where, after five long years of college ball, he became a starter.  He currently resides in Salt Lake City with his wife and he coaches at Davis High School.

"Dax Crum is a great example of resilience and pushing through adversity. His story resonates with the true meaning of dedication and endurance."

-Jim Abbott, retired Major League Baseball pitcher.
