Healing with Basketball - Rebounding After Breast Cancer

Basic skill training for breast cancer survivors
who want to develop upper body strength
and have FUN in the process.

Healing with Basketball offers ongoing, monthly Saturday morning clinics for recovering breast cancer survivors in the Washington, DC and suburban area who want to do strength and endurance training with other women to get stronger to fully recover from their surgery or treatment.

As part of this training, we are all learning to play basketball!

It doesn't matter if you have never held a basketball in your life. Basketball is a wonderful upper body, team-oriented, and FUN workout for women breast-cancer survivors. In our clinics, we learn basketball drills (passing, shooting, etc.) and other strength-building exercises (defense, offense, aerobics.). We learn together, laugh together, and over time, we build ourselves into a loving team of stronger, determined women. Our monthly clinic is held on a weekend afternoon in an area gym. A small donation to cover the cost of the trainer may be requested each time. To get details of the next clinic, (where and when) just register online!

Our trainer is Andrew Weiss, a young athlete and martial artist, who teaches basketball and soccer to area school children and adults. He is a natural, caring personal trainer and expert in helping amateur athletes (like us!) learn to play and enjoy the fun game of basketball.

Healing with Basketball is the idea of Lynn Grodzki, psychotherapist and master certified business coach, who developed breast cancer in 2006 and had a bi-lateral mastectomy to become cancer free. She has trained with Andrew for the past 2 years to adapt his "basketball boot camp" strength and endurance program for survivors.

Together, using Andrew's methodical and motivated approach geared for a breast cancer survivor, they have helped Lynn build her upper body after surgery, develop confidence in her physical ability, and reconnect with her innate physicality. Lynn loves the results, and has never felt better or more alive in her 57 years.

Now they want to share the process with other survivors!

Healing with Basketball is a program that can be adopted by other communities across the country. We are open to sharing the results of the training with other women or organizations who want to sponsor this program, to help them get stronger and make a full recovery! Let's learn to play basketball together, for our own degree of fun and sustained healing.

Come and join our clinic or find out how to start a clinic in your city. We want all survivors to stay strong and healthy, post surgery. Vigorous exercise is key. Let's do this together so we all learn to thrive!
