Steve Nash’s Trip to Cuba

Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Cuba.

I admit that the unique nature of its recent history is somewhat romantic as well.

This trip was really about giving back to young players who have never had this type of opportunity. The players were a lot of fun to work with and the Cuban people were incredibly warm and hospitable. Photo by Steve Nash I gave shoes that my kids have outgrown to children I met in the streets.
