ORLANDO – Hard work pays off.
That was the underlining message on Monday when students from Rock Lake Elementary School were treated to a Magic FIT Fun Day. Magic players Elfrid Payton and Dewayne Dedmon, Community Ambassadors Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw, Magic Dancers and STUFF The Magic Mascot surprised the kids at the school’s outdoor basketball court to help show them the importance of fitness and nutrition.
Payton and Dedmon served as coaches for the event’s scrimmage basketball game and then they helped inspire the students with a Q&A afterwards. They emphasized how healthy habits helped them become NBA players and described what they’ve learned about making good food choices since becoming pro athletes.
