The Valley's Largest Outdoor Basketball Festival Brings Together Athletes Of All Ages And Abilities

This weekend, a lot of people are going to be in downtown Phoenix playing 3-on-3 basketball as part of the Valley’s largest outdoor hoops festival. 

Participants are going to be all sorts of ages, shapes and sizes. And the tournament undoubtedly will give former athletes who’ve reached middle age — and are now weekend warriors — the chance to reclaim former glory, at least in their own heads.

We talked with sports psychologist Dr. Charlie Brown and Dr. Denise Millstine of the Mayo Clinic.
