For more than two decades, Sandy "Spin" Slade inspired fans, educators, and youth nationwide from NBA arenas and school gyms. But when the spotlight faded, she faced an entirely new challenge: building a business from scratch.



Basketball to Business is not about overnight success. It's about the work you put in when no one is watching. It's about the grit it takes to rebuild, to lead, and to keep going when things don't go your way - yet you still refuse to quit.



Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone chasing your next chapter, this book is for anyone who has ever faced a turning point and decided to keep going.

"The first time I saw Sandy "Spin" Slade perform years ago, I was so inspired that I had to meet her in person, so I hired her to be a regular guest speaker and performer at my summer youth basketball camps in Utah, where we became great friends. Her journey is an incredible testament to resilience, passion, and the power of a dream. Her story, from a young girl captivated by a basketball handler's performance to becoming a world-class entertainer and successful entrepreneur, is nothing short of inspiring. Sandy's ability to overcome adversity, adapt to changing circumstances, and stay true to her vision offers a powerful lesson for anyone daring to pursue their own goals. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking motivation, practical business insights, and a reminder that with dedication and heart, even the most unconventional dreams can take flight. Thank you, Sandy. The world needs this book." ~Thurl Bailey, NBA Legend, 1983 NCAA Champion, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster, and Author of Team of Destiny "A moving, motivating playbook for building something that matters." ~Mike Michalowicz, Author of The Money Habit and Profit First "Sandy seamlessly weaves together the story of her life's journey with a powerful blueprint for the essential skills every entrepreneur must learn to master. Fast-paced, fun to read, and filled with pearls of wisdom!" ~Jeff Salzman, CEO Nature Watch
