Our Goals

Discipline, Dedication and Determination

3-D Sports Texas was founded in 2004 and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2011.

The goal of our organization is to expose children to organized sports on an elite level and to teach them the values of teamwork, sportsmanship and community, while fostering love and building life skills to prepare our youth to be successful people in life.

The organization’s founder is Kevin “Bizness” Butler.

Raised in Oakland, California, basketball instilled in Kevin the Discipline, Dedication and Determination to rise up out of an environment where crime, drugs and violence are a prevalent part of everyday life. Indeed, organized basketball was the outlet which allowed him to stay focused, driven and goal oriented. Promising himself to never become a statistic of the streets, Kevin has had many successes in business as well as in his personal life. With the opportunities afforded him, he vowed to help kids anyway he can to realize their goals within the framework he calls the 3-D principles, “Discipline, Dedication and Determination.”

Determination

There are always tough periods in life that we must go through in order to achieve our desired ends. This takes immense perseverance to never quit and continue to strive. Your determination has to be to the point where you are willing to do things you have never done before to get something you have never had before.

Dedication

It takes time and consistency to become great at anything. Nothing worthwhile happens overnight. It takes continuous and repetitive stick-to-itiveness. A study was once done to show that it takes 14 days to build a habit and only 2 days to break it. If becoming great was easy, then everyone would be great. Being great is a choice and a choice that you must have the dedication to make each and every day over and over again. True Champions know they must be dedicated and never miss a day or be outworked.

Discipline

If you fail to plan then you are planning to fail. You must have the discipline to stick to doing things in the correct form and fashion and believe. Discipline runs hand in hand with believing and having faith in something. When you are disciplined, you have a firm foundation and won’t waiver. You must have extreme focus and tunnel vision on your ultimate objective.
