This weekend my team faced a lot of adversity! Just like life you have to make the choice to either just let it beat you or fight back. My guys cut a 20 point lead down to 6 and this was my advice to them! 🗣TAKE IT! We lost the battle, but won the war! This will make us better!

If you could give kids playing basketball a skill or trait in todays generation what would it be? I’m going to go with IQ. Kids don’t think the game like they should I feel but that’s just my opinion. Let me hear your thoughts.

Grass not always greener on the other side. To all the kids in high school and college going through adversity, GOOD!!! It’s not suppose to be easy! Press through young folks! Cause the easy way out is not always the best way out! Mental toughness wins in life and in sports.

It’s bigger than basketball for us. Coaches we have a platform to teach these young men about real life so let’s use it. Don’t let it just be about basketball, because they need more stepping into the real world.

To be able to play ball at any level in college no matter the division is great. Hear every college out and what they have to offer. With how crazy these times are right now don’t sleep on D2, D3, juco and NAIA. Count it a blessing! 💯

When you do things for the right reasons you won’t need credit! In fact you won’t even worry about the credit because your heart was in the right place. Our job on this earth has to always center around helping others. Be a blessing and God will be a blessing back unto you.

When you put your all into something you leave with no regrets because you know the blood, sweat and tears that went into it. I have been blessed with a gift from God to reach, teach and coach kids to turn the impossible into the possible. Like My dad says, The king stands alone.

I learned how to move in silence! Just as many people applaud your success, you have just as many or more praying on your downfall. Moving in silence leaves them lost and wondering. Then when success happens they are shocked because they didn’t see it coming. Be blessed!

Everybody wants normalcy but God wants change! We can’t go back to being normal because we were ungrateful and didn’t appreciate things. God wants focus on him and a fresh start. That’s our new norm! He’s a jealous God! It’s time we wake up and listen! Shift focus back to God.
