MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is becoming an author.
William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Wednesday plans to release "A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball" in September. The book talks in part about Wade's struggles growing up in Chicago and how he's incorporating some of the lessons he learned into raising his own family.
"For me, it was therapeutic to do this," Wade told The Associated Press.
Wade was awarded sole custody of his two sons in March 2011 after a long court battle with his ex-wife, who remains in the boys' lives. The 2006 NBA Finals MVP and eight-time All-Star said he hopes the book will show fans a side of him that they have yet to see.
"I don't have to share it with people," Wade said. "But I felt there was a need. So many people came up to me in this process, so many fathers, so many men came up to me to congratulate me and to ask me how, how I did it and why I believed I could do it."
Although the book is about fatherhood, Wade said it also features much of his own childhood. Wade spent much of this past offseason working on the book, which he said will include some story lines that even people close to him do not know.
"We are thrilled and honored to publish Dwyane's book," Henry Ferris, a vice president and executive editor at William Morrow, said in a statement. "He has an extremely important story and message about the role of fathers in children's lives. And his career in the NBA is also a phenomenal and exciting story."
Last year, Wade was honored by the National Fatherhood Initiative, for his dedication to his two sons given the demands of being a professional athlete and single father. Earlier this season at All-Star Weekend in Orlando, Wade headlined a roundtable discussion that was part of President Barack Obama's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative.
Even more coverage of the Big 3 and their adventures in Miami.

Wade has had a fascination with writing for years. When he was in high school, he considered a journalism career and was a sportswriter for the school newspaper. He kept a journal during his college days at Marquette, has dabbled with poetry and once saw an ode to basketball that he wrote turned into an advertising campaign.
"I think the biggest thing when I set out to write a book was just to share my experiences, from when I was a kid, my upbringing, my struggles, my joyous times, to becoming a father," Wade said. "I'm trying to compare them, how they've been the same in a sense, even though my worlds are totally different. But we're still dealing with the same things. From rags to riches, it really doesn't matter."
Wade said he tried to open up as much as possible in the book, even though it was at times painful for him to relive certain memories. Because the book is not being released for several months, he did not divulge specifics.
"People will get a better understanding of me as a person," Wade said. "Even people who might think they know all there is, there's things you can learn about me that you don't know. People know that in 2008 I had one of my best seasons, averaged 30 points a game, had some of my best games. But they don't know what I had to deal with before tipoff or right after the game. It's not focused on basketball, but it all wraps together and tells a story."

       Tobin: Muamba 'dead' for 78 minutes

     The 23-year-old Bolton midfielder collapsed during an FA Cup match against Tottenham over the weekend after suffering from cardiac arrest. His heart stopped being and was classified as "dead" for a total of 78 minutes. He was taken to London Chest Hospital and remains in intensive care. Over an hour of being considered dead and 15 shocks from the defibrillator the players heart began to beat again. This is truly a miracle and my prayers go out to Fabrice Muamba and hope he is capable of recovering and playing the sport he loves again someday. Truly a miracle!!

                                                 RANDY MOSS TO SAN FRANCISCO

    Retiring from the Tennessee Titans for the 2011-2012 season, Randy Moss is coming out of retirement (at age 35) to continue playing the game he loves. Moss is a sensational reciever and is by far my favorite player ever since I was a yound kid. I have his jersey for every team he has played for in the NFL and it looks as if I will be making a new purchase. The 49ers were knocking on the super bowls door this past season. Although they held one of the best records of the season they were still considered the underdog because of their past season performances. His contract is 2.5 million dollars for this season with a possible 1.5 million dollars worth of incentives. GO MOSS, GO 49ers!!! #84

                                          A.J. Hawk cuts his famous locks for kids with cancer

                  Many players in the NFL have signature haircuts that are recognized and popular through the fans such as A.J. Hawk, Clay Matthews, and Troy Polamalu. Recently Green Bay Pack Lineback, A.J. Hawk cut his signature long hair for kids who have cancer. Similar to the popular organization "Locks of Love", Hawk donated his long locks of hair to "Wigs for Kids". He stated he wanted to help out the youth who needed his hair more than he did. This is a heartwarming action on his part and proves just how down to earth SOME million dollar professional athletes are. Hats off to you A.J. Hawk and thank you for your compassion towards the less fortunate.

                      NFL SEASON OPENER 2012-2013 SEASON

Because of their Super Bowl Championship, the New York Giants will kick the season off with the very first game of the season. Uniquely, instead of starting on the newly traditional "Thursday" the game will be played on a "Wednesday". (Sept. 5th) This date has been altered to avoid coming in conflict with President Obama's Democration National Convention Speech that will be on that Thursday (Sept. 6th). Their opponent has not been scheduled yet.

           JR SMITH IS FINED BY CHINESE TEAM


                                    Newly acquired Knick, JR Smith, is having a tough transition from playing professionally overseas and returning BACK to the NBA. Smith signed a 2.5 million dollar contract to add talent to New Yorks backcourt, being the electrifying player that he is, he had a good debut game. Because of the NBA Lockout, Smith signed a contract with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). . Evidently Smith is currently being fine 1.06 million dollars for missing practices, mostly during the preseason. It was to be expected that he would receive this fine because it stated in his contract that he would receive a deduction of salary for missing practices. Reportedly Smith was being accused of faking injuries, abusing team regulations, and infamously pulling an "ALLEN IVERSON"...................Come on man......."WE TALKIN 'BOUT PRACTICE!"   ............... "PRACTICE?" ........."TALKIN BOUT PRACTICE MAN"

Kobe Bryant opened his mouth a little too early, letting his EGO get ahead of him. If I can remember correctly, and if the rest of the world can recall.......Jeremy Lin dropped 38 against the Black Mamba and the Lakers winning 92-85. Jeremy Lin is the NBA's Tim Tebow.

Keystone Lady Panthers fall to Lady Berries

        It was to be expected that the overwhelming pressure of having an undefeated season would have an effect on an outcome of a game sooner or later. Unfortunately the Lady Panthers suffered their first loss over the weekend in a very intense game, 57-53 being the score. If they were going to want to lose a game this late in the season, this would be the one too lose because from here on out its playoffs which means "Win or Go Home". I dont mean that in a bad way because who wants to win a conference championship game? They need to turn a negative into a positive because the the District 9 Title Championship is what they have been playing all season for. They just need to work on their turnovers and make a few roster adjustments and they should be a championship contender. Great back and forth game scoring wise.

My career interest is in Sport Agency. My love for sports has grew to a whole new level as I get older and I am starting to appreciate my passion for sport more and more everyday. Since I am unable to play professionally I feel a career that is surrounded on a daily basis by professional sport would be that of Sport Agency. This would give me the opportunity to interact with the famous athletes we see on television. I am looking for a partner who is interest in my career are also.
