Stephen A. Smith is one of the most recognizable voices in all of sports media — and he’s not slowing down anytime soon. Whether it’s TV, radio, podcasts, or social media, Smith’s larger-than-life personality is impossible to miss.

Now, he’s stepping into a new arena: coaching. The outspoken ESPN star is teaming up with IMG Academy to host a weeklong summer basketball camp in Bradenton, Florida.

It’s a rare chance for young athletes to learn from one of the biggest names in sports, but it won’t come cheap. Parents looking to send their kids to this exclusive camp will need to dig deep into their wallets, with prices starting at $2,899.

No matter where you look in the sports media world, it’s hard to miss ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. He is literally everywhere.

Now, he’s taking his talents to the world of coaching.

Smith has partnered with IMG Academy in Florida for a weeklong summer basketball camp. The event will be held this month at IMG’s campus in Bradenton, Florida. However, if you want your kid to attend it, you’re going to have to break the bank.

Pricing starts at $2,899.

Smith will participate in several activities, such as a Q&A-format discussion with camp participants while sharing an inspiring message to the young athletes at IMG Academy.

 

No matter what is being done, not a single person thinks a price like that and higher should be dished out during a time where people can barely afford things they need.
