Balancing Books, Basketball, and Big Dreams
Touro Tornadoes Players Prove Their Success is Built on Discipline, Passion, and Purpose
At Touro University New York School of Career and Applied Studies (NYSCAS), student athletes are redefining what it means to be successful, both inside the classroom and on the court. We recently spoke with Touro Tornadoes players Ali Ibrahim, Andrew Block and Denis Danilovich, who each have a unique story driven by a deep love for basketball. While preparing for careers in health science fields including nursing, medical assistant, and radiologic technology, these students highlight what it takes to balance coursework, practices and games, as well as full and part-time work, all while keeping their long-term goals in sight.
