Family Reading Night at Olympia West

Family Reading Night 2021 at Olympia West Elementary School was one for the books. The event, sponsored by the H.A. Peine District Library and Olympia West Elementary School in Minier, featured a motivational program and exhibition by former Harlem Globetrotter, “Corey the Dribbler”.

Corey the Dribbler, also known as Corey Rich, is a 8-Time Guinness World Record Holder that’s been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman, ESPN First Take, Comcast Sportsnet, and Fox News.

Standing only six foot one inches tall, Corey quickly realized he would have to maximize his ball handling abilities to succeed at the professional level.  Thus his obsession with ball handling began.  He began training strictly on his ball handling day and night every day with one goal in mind – To become The Greatest Dribbler in the World!

Currently, Corey travels year-round to schools across the country to motivate and inspire kids of all ages to reach for their dreams!  While showcasing his amazing ball handling tricks, Corey teaches the students to treat each other with “Respect” and to make “Positive Choices.”
