When Chris Haas was nine years old, he noticed many of his classmates holding basketballs incorrectly, so they didn't shoot very well during a school basketball practice. He was the son of a basketball coach and knew a thing or two on the right way to shoot. After trying to show his classmates the right way to hold a ball, he came up with his invention: the hands-on basketball.
The hands-on basketball is a basketball training tool for kids. It has hands painted on it, showing the correct ways to hold the ball while trying to shoot. With his teachers' and family's encouragement, he went on to patent（获得专利）his idea and he made it. Then he went to several sports companies（公司）and asked whether they would be interested in making and selling his invention. None of them was.
Chris didn't give up and a year and a half later, luckily, his invention won the attention of a sports company. And it was soon popular in the market. The hands-on basketball is now sold successfully around the world.
But being a famous person was just one of the new challenges Chris had to face after he sold his invention. Chris promoted（宣传）his invention by travelling around and showing it in cities, like New York and Las Vegas. He also had to decide how to use his money wisely. Each year, he gives away much money to children in need. These days, Chris is an active basketball player and writer of the book—Shooting for Your Dreams.
