Here at YMS, we’ve talked before about how awesome Clutch from the Houston Rockets is.
Obviously there are a lot of people who think Clutch is great, so good that he recently was featured on Chron.com, home of Houston & Texas news.
Here’s a quote from the story:
Boudwin can spend hours describing why he loves his job.
There’s the rush of performing in front of 18,000 people, the fun of making kids laugh and the challenge of coming up with new skits.
“I love to see people smile,” Boudwin said.
But there are challenges.
Like the stifling heat inside the suit that makes Boudwin soak through six shirts a game and guzzle down copious amounts of water. Or the surprising physical toll of life as a mascot.
It’s a great story on the hard work it takes to be a mascot performer, but also, how grateful and thankful each one of these guys is for the fans that make it all possible.
