An Associate Professor of Psychology at Western Kentucky University created a summer youth basketball camp and has directed it for the past eight years. We found out Quentin Hollis' future goals and honor him as this week's Hometown Hero.

Quentin Hollis' youth camp is about more than being affordable and teaching basketball.

"A lot of times we're talking about anything from drugs, alcohol, school, family, religion, dedication to your family, the people around you, and your community," said Hollis. "We talk a lot of those things other than just basketball."

However, this may be the last summer the camp is directed by Hollis.

He now wants to help spread the life lessons he has stressed at his camps here to those in less fortunate countries, such as Zimbabwe in Africa.

Together with the help of his friend, Dr. Richard Butcher, Hollis hopes to take his camp to other countries in order to create bonds and display positive role models.

"We're going to talk about some things like going to some of these areas that are underprivileged and poor and try to inspire some kids," said Hollis. "That's what I want to do now. It's been fun doing this with the kids here, but I kind of felt like there was something else that I needed to do now."

Hollis feels this experience would benefit the kids of these countries greatly.

"When we go over there or when we travel, people will see America first and think of the icons or iconic figures, but then afterwards it'll be a bonding, like, forget about you being from America," said Hollis. "This is a man that's just playing with me, trying to love and share with me."

Hollis added that he hopes former WKU basketball players and those who have helped with his camp in the past will continue the camp each summer here in Bowling Green.
