Imagine making a difference in someone's life by simply doing what you love.
Through their passion for basketball, Boise State alumnus Clint Hordemann and his brother Vince regularly do just that.
The life-long basketball players established 3For3 Productions, LLC in 2002, a company dedicated to creating a positive and safe environment for Idaho's youth through the organization of dozens of basketball camps in the last five years.
"We want to give more opportunities for kids to play, stay out of trouble and have positive role models, while increasing skill levels and helping the state improve the basketball community in Idaho," Clint said.
Their enthusiasm for the game started at a young age. Their main influence was their father, who coached varsity high school basketball for 25 years.
"We grew up in a gym," Vince said. "Basketball was all we knew. After college we both went different directions, but ended up coming right back to it."
Clint graduated from BSU in 2001 after completing four seasons with the Bronco basketball team. He began his collegiate career at Clackamus Community College and walked on at BSU in his second season.
Clint excelled far enough to earn a scholarship for three of his four seasons as a Bronco.
Vince was a walk-on himself, but his basketball ventures led him North to the University of Idaho.
He graduated from UI in 2000 and later received his MBA from Georgia Tech University.
Since college, the two have organized many camps and competitions. Their most recent venture is The River City Showdown, which is scheduled for Jan. 19 at the Boys and Girls Club in Garden City.
It will be their first one-on-one tournament. The challenge consists of eight age and gender-divided competitions and an open division focused on finding the best of the best.
"This is an opportunity for everyone to come out and have a great time," Clint said. "But also an opportunity for someone to say 'I am the best. I won the one-on-one tournament and these are my credentials.'"
