New series looks at athletes' real lives
Local TV studio CMN in Troy is producing an interesting series exploring what the transition period for athletes go through while assimilating to "normal" life following their playing careers. The show has already featured former Detroit high school basketball standout Derrick Coleman and will feature Michigan State heroes Greg Kelser and Mateen Cleaves, as well as former Pistons Bad Boy Rick Mahorn.
The series has been picked up by PBS and will begin airing nationwide in January.
Paul Kampe is a copy editor and page designer for The Oakland Press, responsible for laying out the paper, hunting down spelling and grammatical errors and occasionally covering high school sports in Oakland County. He also covers Oakland University men's and women's basketball. He earned bachelor of arts degrees in journalism and communications from Oakland University in 2006 and joined The Oakland Press in Pontiac, Mich. in 2007.
