I rarely ask people for anything but in this case I am because I know the power of prayer, late last night my mom suffered a heart attack her current condition is fair and she’s in critical care. Thank you all for the prayers in advance. 🙏🏾

They don’t respect you at the bottom. They ignore you in the middle. They hate you when you get to the top. You’ll never have everyone’s approval, so it’s best to focus on your own.

I’ll put @JarkelJoiner in the same category with Dre, Moody, TD, Jarvis, Rhett, Sebas and Tomaz when it comes to working outside of practice and I’ve worked with all those guys consistently all went all to become pros.

The person that challenges you and holds you accountable loves you more than the person that watches you stay the same and settle for mediocrity.

5 things to never feel guilty for...

Confidence isn’t walking into a room with your nose in the air and thinking you are better than everyone else. It’s walking into a room and not having to compare yourself to anyone else in the first place.

You are not entitled to make it. A lot of belief and work is required. The belief is a mindset, the work determines if you are worthy, the belief triggers motivation which separates you. #TheWorkDontLie

I’m very cautious about who has access to me lately. And it’s not out of arrogance, it’s out of the need to continue to protect my space and energy as I continue to do the work to elevate myself. This chapter requires me to be little less accessible.

Mental toughness is not getting through a hard day, workout or game etc. True mental toughness is bringing it everyday regardless of the circumstances and competing at the highest level to improve yourself and pushing your circle to improve.

Don’t entertain negative energy. Some situations will test your patience and try to make you overreact, overthink and respond to things that don’t deserve your life force. Your attention is your power. Don’t feed what doesn’t add value to your life. Protect your energy.

I sit back & observe every person in my life, whether we talk everyday or not. I know who motivates me & keeps it 💯. I know who talks about me & who smiles in my face. I know who I can trust & who I need to keep a distance with. Whether I say anything or let you be fake, I know.

Young players don’t force the issue with your recruiting process it all plays out the way it’s supposed to depend on a tight organic circle to guide/advise you, just put in the work and stay out of the way.

A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you. A mentor will be by your side when you hit your darkest times not just your brightest.

Crazy to see where this has gone so quickly, two minds that brought each others attributes to the table with zero ego and a plan to provide a opportunity for female basketball players. #BestOfTheBest22

Be confident, too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses and it is only when you accept everything you are and aren’t that you will truly succeed.
