, less than 2% of NCAA student-athletes become professional athletes. When also considering the youth and high school athletes who don\u2019t play a sport in college, the ratio of people who go pro to people who play sports is astronomically low.<\/span><\/p>\nFor some, after their professional athlete dreams end, the passion dies. For others, the passion continues to drive them as they seek different ways to live their dreams in sports.<\/span><\/p>\nThis was the case for Jonathon Dues, star guard at Division II Hillsdale College from 1999 to 2003. While Dues briefly weighed going pro overseas, he ended up taking a corporate job after college. For more than a decade, Dues\u2019 career had nothing to do with basketball, but the passion lived on.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201c(Basketball has) been a huge part of my life, my heart and my brain since I was probably 5 or 6 years old,\u201d Dues said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn 2016, Dues\u2019 basketball passion came to fruition, as he helped found what would become Swish House, the world\u2019s first basketball fitness program. At the heart of Swish House is the love of the game. All of its instructors have some history playing or coaching basketball at a high level. For the growing number of people taking Swish House classes, it\u2019s all about getting fit and having fun while doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
