I had the great opportunity to sit down with @fandaynation and talk about my story. I look forward to working with them more in the future. Check out the full interview here...

Can't believe this kid's college career is about to start. I helped him with his shot remotely yesterday, and it looks as good as ever. Whatever role he needs to play, he'll be that guy.
We used to say "good luck", but now we say that we don't need luck when we have FAITH. – at Michigan, USA

We’ve got 11-year-olds getting ranked, 13-year-olds getting recruiting advice, and 15-year-olds being told their athletic window is closing.
Meanwhile, more than half of the adults involved haven’t came close to figuring out their own lives yet.

Our hard hat award is voted on by the players and it is earned by the guy that left it all out there at practice that week‼️
Congrats to our Week 1 winner Jalen and our Week 2 winner Connor #GRATITUDE
The past 2 weeks have not been fun. What I thought was tendonitis, escalated to a life threatening infection, though an Orhto Doc said it wasn't. Trust your gut and advocate for yourself. Stable now and surgery tomorrow. Ready to be back

Lots of bad characters and clowns in the hoops world.
However there’s a huge group of Great people including, coaches, parents, refs, prospects who make it all worth while.
Surround yourself with the right people and you can go far.
A good conversation could change every thing
Looking back, I'm reminded none of this started with rankings, recruiting, or scholarships.
It started with a kid who couldn't wait to get back in the gym.
As coaches, let's make sure kids have so much fun they don't even realize they're learning.

Some coaches don’t realize that they’re the problem. A player loses their love for the game, starts thinking about quitting. Then a new coach, a new culture & the spark returns. They didn’t change, but their environment did. Coaches, you can be the reason they quit or love again.

One thing I can, with almost total certainty say: if an adult is bashing NAIA or D2, 9.9 times out of 10 they weren’t even remotely close to being good enough to play at either themselves.

Training does not replace PLAYING. Putting a suction cup on a pool noodle and slapping it on the backboard isn’t the same as going against a shot blocker. Crossing over on a mat isn’t the same as going vs someone crawling into you.
1v1, 2v2, 3v3 is still the best teacher.

After an incredible two day visit in New London, I am excited to share I have received an offer to extend my academic and athletic career and service at @USCGAcademy! Thank you to @CGACoachJazz and Coach Martin for this opportunity!

Comparison is the thief of joy. But finding joy in constantly comparing everyone else’s journey to your own might be worse.
The planning for @toolshed_denver 2 has begun. Bigger, better, same philosophy.
