Today was different & unforgettable. Thanks to everyone that helped make this day special. It is a great feeling when you know you have great loved ones and friends in your life. God made us for one another! ❤️💍
Thankful for our young men. Each day they sacrifice their self for the good of the team.
This regular season has rewarded them as Champions — though they have exuded the characteristics of that daily.
Celebrate the small victories, but stay HUNGRY for what is left to achieve.
This picture says a lot. These chairs start 1 foot back from the cardinal paint. After 40 minutes of game time, they are in the cardinal paint and close to being on the court. It shows the excitement, focus, and importance of the end of the bench to the guys on the court!

During quarantine, I challenge you to lose yourself for 10 minutes out of the 1,440 in worship daily. He will move you, he is for you! 🧎🏽♂️

On my walk and Piper would not leave this sign because she wanted to go to the game today at 3:00!
I told her that
@LongwoodLancers
would have to change their fan policies first.
Saw a shirt yesterday while recruiting that said, “God is still underrated.” 🗣
2 Corinthians 4:17 “Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
Heard this today in church:
“Do not try to judge someone because where they are at, if you do not know where they started.”
That hits a little different 💥🔥
This is golden. I hope little William keeps this energy going through the school year. Can’t say it enough, basketball is a very small part of what it is all about.

These young men are the most important piece. Their growth in spirit, faith, problem solving, humility, confidence, education, and relationships are the real victory. Let’s keep sight of that! ❤️✊🏽🙌🏽👁

Walking across campus today, I saw our manager from last year, Elijah Aekins on the bench. This guy screams positivity, enthusiasm, energy, and happiness. You are one of a kind E, never stop being you! He is a soph. thinking about majoring in English and creative writing! 🔥🙌🏽 ❤️

! This profession brings many great friendships and I am grateful for ours. Thanks for standing by my side Armand. ✊🏽🤷🏽♂️🐐
Do not tell me rebounding is not the best play in basketball.
If you do not agree, watch how Looney and the Warriors have turned this game around in the 3rd quarter.
REBOUND wins.
Thankful to
@goquakers
for the endless opportunities. Excited to be at the regional rules seminars in Denver to learn more about compliance of
@NCAADIII
rules.
Toughness?

displayed this more than I have ever seen this summer!
On top of doing the requirements of a 7 week summer program for basketball…these young men completed 320 hours for their kinesiology summer internship…

To change our outlook we must change our intent. Let’s look to focus on the positives in situations/decisions instead of the negatives. It will brighten up our world! 🤲🏽
Sending a 𝙃𝙐𝙂𝙀 thank you to all of Lancer Nation, this championship wouldn’t have been possible without your support this year 💙
Now, 𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙂𝙤 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣’ 🕺

Be a giver. Be a doer. Be someone that puts others before yourself. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace...” - 1 Peter 4:10 🙌🏽🌎🏀🤝
Spent a few hours this afternoon dropping off basketballs to some title 1 schools in our city! Our young men garner the importance of giving back and volunteering in the community. It is bigger than basketball! Good luck,

My wife told me today that I could not go to the grocery store with her because I slow her down.
In my head I was thinking, “I don’t like going to the grocery store because you take too long.”
Different thoughts, but we get the same outcome 😅🤷🏽♂️
People say to work hard and never look back. They should say...work hard and not only look back, but go back and help someone else along the way to get where you are or even further.
Thankful for your love, support, and encouragement. The Lord knew❤️ Mark 10:27 “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.’”

❗️ scorer, rebounder, defender, screener, 6th man, bench guy, scout team, manager....roles are different in sports, but they hold equal value to the team’s success. 🗣
To whatever young kid who wants to LISTEN. Be a star and whatever role your in. And accept it and take it serious. And be great in your role. IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
