Holmes uses the games to get his anti-bullying and beat the odds message across to his clients.
“The Beat The Odds story — I wanted to stop bullying, drugs and alcohol. … I’ve lived in the gym now for 30 years, and now I average 40 to 60 events and one week I had 80-some games. One day, I played 27 games. I had an all-nighter. Basically, I stay busy on the court because I want to help the children.”
