In 2006, former Duke basketball captain Reggie Love applied for a job in the office of a then-unknown Senator Barack Obama. Soon after that he found himself on Obama's presidential team, staying one step behind the president, but always thinking and acting three steps ahead. He became President Obama's personal aide, sitting yeards from the Oval Office and spending more time with him than anyone else. Love learned the same lessons from his Duke Coach Krzyzewski and the president: persistence, responsibility, and passion for a cause greater than yourself. During his time with President Obama, Love learned how all of these things not only lead to success but to a broader concept of adulthood.
