William Gates, the author of "Hoop Dreams Fifth Quarter: Dreams Don't Die," grew up in the Cabrini-Green projects with a passion for basketball. He turned his love for the game into a successful high school and collegiate career, earning academic and athletic scholarships to attend Saint Joseph high school and play for legendary coach Gene Pingator. He later played basketball for coach Kevin O'Neill at Marquette University. After experiencing serious injuries, Gates shifted his focus from basketball to theology and attended Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. He became a senior pastor of Living Faith Community Church, a church he planted in his Cabrini Green Community housing project. Despite his change in career, Gates never lost his love for basketball. He now resides in San Antonio, Texas with his family, where he coaches AAU and travels to speak to youth and adults across the country. Additionally, Gates is the co-host of the Hoop Dreams Podcast alongside his co-star Arthur Agee.
