MELBOURNE, Fla. – Florida Tech head coach Billy Mims is set to serve as the keynote speaker and leading coaching expert at the 2021 Elite Basketball Camps and Clinics in Heraklion, Greece this summer.   
 
This will be Mims' second time serving in this role for the Elite Basketball Camps and Clinics, which take place during the Under-20 FIBA European Championships and are organized by Athlelixis, an educational organization based in Athens, Greece that provides consultation services to coaches, parents, and athletes. 

"I'm very excited to be invited back to Greece this summer to again speak to camps and clinics in Heraklion," said Mims.

I look forward to being a positive ambassador for Florida Tech and the U.S.A. during my time there."
