My reason
My journey is a major part of why I develop athletes the way I do. I didn’t make my middle school basketball team. I didn’t play varsity basketball until my junior year of high school. There were plenty of reasons I could have used to convince myself that basketball simply wasn’t going to work out for me. Instead, I chose to keep working, keep believing, and keep trusting God. I understood that my circumstances did not have to determine my destination
I understand …
Because of that journey, I understand what it feels like to be the athlete who is overlooked, the athlete who is still developing, the athlete who knows they have potential but hasn’t figured out how to unlock it yet. I also understand what it takes to go from potential to production. I know the difference between looking good in a workout and actually being effective when the lights come on.
