Juggling is really like an outlet for him, because it is athletic and it is something he is good at. He says that, "I was having fun, and to me that's all that mattered. I didn't care if people thought I was crazy for wanting to go home and juggle instead of going to basketball practice. It's all about having a good time!" He practices everyday, but sometimes is takes 4-5 months to perfect a trick.

    Marcus has much support from his family and friends. People who never thought he could do what he is doing right now, makes him work harder so he can prove them wrong. Much of his motivation he says comes from himself because he is a perfectionist. He won't let himself settle for anything less. Juggling has taught him that everything takes time, no matter what.

    Marcus is currently working for the basketball team, The Milwaukee Bucks. There are other things in development too, so please check out www.marcusmonroe.com for more up to date information.

    Marcus not only wants to juggle, but broaden his talents in the entertainment industry as he gets older. He says, "I will stay grounded and if there is anything I can do in return for my fans, I'm gonna try to do it." His ultimate dream is to meet Hilary Duff and have a Wendy's in his backyard. Doesn't sound that hard to accomplish if you have the dedication and passion like Marcus Monroe.
