FRG: How often do you practice?

FRG: How often are your games?
HF: As a team, we play about 340 games in 250 cities – and that’s just in North America. We’ll player another 100 games internationally every year. We think of ourselves as one team, but we split up into three units to cover the most ground.
FRG:When did you decide you wanted to be a globetrotter?
HF: I saw the Globetrotters on Scooby Doo when I was six years old and knew I either wanted to solve mysteries or play for the Globetrotters. This has truly be a lifelong dream.
FRG:What do you like most about being a globetrotter?
HF: Bringing joy to kids around the world and giving them a memory that will last a lifetime. It seems that every person has a Globetrotter memory. It’s amazing to be a part of a 91 year tradition.
FRG:Do you hang out with Globie outside of the games?
HF: Everyone loves Globie and Big G. I can’t get enough of them!
FRG: What is your secret to winning so often?
HF: The Globetrotters have a tradition of winning that dates back to 1926. Our current team has no plan so of losing anytime soon.
FRG: What do you do in your free time? What hobbies do you have?
HF: In my personal time, I give back to my community of Harrisburg, PA – revitalizing parks and playgrounds. I’m also a football fan – my favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles.
FRG: Do you have an offseason or do you play year round?
HF: Our North American tour runs from the day after Christmas to the end of April. The other months, we’ll tour internationally, talking to kids about bullying prevention in schools, and mix in a little bit of time at home.
