For much of his adult life as an athlete and attorney, Len Elmore has balanced academics and athletics. That work continues to this day as a Senior Lecturer at Columbia University in the Sports Management program. The balancing act began long ago growing up in New York City, then attending Power Memorial Academy, the University of Maryland, playing in the NBA, going to Harvard Law School, serving as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn and beyond.

We are wowed by the big time nature of college sports and the gaudy salaries of the pros, where careers on average tend to be short. The lessons learned by balancing academics and athletics last a lifetime.
