Set your clocks for Nike Rise’s first episode airing tonight, August 2, 2015 at 6:00PM only on TV5.
THEME: BELIEF
TRAINING: FUNDAMENTALS
GUEST: PAUL GEORGE
The first episode of Nike RISE introduces the RISE 24; the 24 kids who have been selected from the regional try-outs across the Philippines. On this episode, Coach Chot Reyes meets the RISE 24 for the very first time in Manila as training begins at the House of Rise with their first guest mentor from the Indiana Pacers, Paul George.
In this episode, the RISE 24 kids begin their journey, the stories of some highlighted in tonight’s episode. As the kids start, there will be many who do not believe they can make it. They may have failed before, have disabilities, may not be tall enough, or may come from tough backgrounds. They might also be raw and lacking in discipline and training. In comes Paul George.
An all-around talent, Paul George has been called the best two-way layer in the game, but this was not always the case. Being the NBA’s Most Improved Player, he knows what it takes to improve rapidly, and is perfect for helping the RISE 24 kids start from scratch. Paul George establishes a base level of skill so that the kids trust themselves on court. Likewise, his story of recovery and determination– starting over, coming back stronger — will make the RISE 24 believe they can succeed.
