What I Learned From Being On The Bench For Three Years In College

The transfer portal has changed the landscape of college sports.  I love it, and I'm also worried.  Everything has its pros and cons.  As a player, I didn't have the freedom to transfer. I had to sit on the bench and hope an opportunity presented itself.  In this video, I discussed the valuable lessons I learned from being on the bench for three years.  Check out the video and let me know what you think.  Do you think we're creating a generation of athletes who don't know how to fight throug...

Why I Prefer To Train Alone #119

In this episode, I talk about why I prefer to train alone.  I started training alone when I was a kid.  It wasn’t t a choice I made I just was the kid that nobody took serious so I had to find a way. This continued even when I was in college.  We had all the resources in the world, but I was always the player who couldn’t get a rebounder or couldn’t get a coach to pour into me truly.  So, I had to figure it out by studying and breaking down a ton of film.   I don’t like people in my traini...

Be Impactful #118

In this episode, I talked about how your name precedes your skills.  People fall in love with how you make them feel.   Not with you doing your job well.  Doing your job well is expected.  Being impactful requires you to do your job and more.  The people will always respect and remember the people who go the extra mile.    

Tough Love Is Better Than Fake Love #117

In this episode, I discussed how tough love is better than fake love.  Nobody likes it when people are tough on them, but the people who are tough on you are the people who care about you the most.

It Never Gets Easy #116

Something I've learned after 35 years. It never gets easy. Every time, I've felt I had it figured out. A new challenge appeared. I used to look at it like, why me? Why I can't never get over the hump. Then I sat back and thought about it. I have overachieved. Everything I said I wanted to do in life, I did it in my twenties. Never really appreciating all the hard work and dedication led me to believe life was against me. I've been winning the whole time. No matter where you are, there will ...

How To Play When You’re Not Comfortable With Your Role #115

Many players are in this situation.  I've been in this situation my whole career.  It's one of the reasons I created the #makempay mentality.    Most players were playing against the other team.  Most of the time, I played against my team and tried my best to force them to see value in me. Now, since that's out of the way.  I'm qualified to talk about this subject.  I've mastered how to fill your role, change your role, and create a new role.  It's a game within a game.  You already know m...

Why I Don't Play Pick Up Basketball Anymore #114

I'll start by saying I love pickup basketball. It's one of the purest forms of the game. I played pickup ten years into my professional career.  There are a lot of pros playing pickup, but just like anything, there are a lot of cons. Every player's situation is different.  One of the pros is that you get to feel contact in the offseason. You get to work on some of the moves you're practicing in training. You get some cardio if you're playing seriously.  Now for the cons. Pickup has change...

To Find Peace You Need War #106

In this episode, I talked about why you have to have a war to find peace. I have had to kill parts of myself that I love to find the peace that I needed.  Most of our battles are with the person in the mirror.  Many people don’t like to deal with that reality, but I embrace it. I also talked about how to prepare for war.  You don’t ever want to go into a war blindsided.  You want to be sharp, disciplined, and have goals. I talked about peace.  Peace is what most of us seek.  We go to work...

Do More Than What You’re Paid For #100

Many won’t agree with doing more than what you're paid for. That’s because many people are doing a job solely to garnish a pay check. I think that life will eventually become a burden. I believe in doing work that excites you. Sure, you have to do what you have to do to take care of yourself. But, while you’re doing that, in my opinion you should be searching for a way out to do work that excites you.   We weren’t given this beautiful life to work for wages. Life is so much more than that. ...

Control Your Emotions #099

Emotions are strong feelings such as love or anger, or strong feelings in general. These feelings can disrupt or propel your mental toughness. Unfortunately, many times we ignore these feelings and leave feeling confused. We recognize our mindset is powerful, but we’re still lacking somewhere. Most of the time, it’s because we can’t control our emotions.   In this episode, I provided you with some tips on how to control your emotions.

The Price of Being Successful #098

Success is something that the world glorifies. We see successful people with nice material objects, but we rarely discuss the other side of success. The side that’s lonely. The side that’s not fair.   If you’re on the path to success, you must be prepared for the pros and cons. Of course, there are many pros, but there are also many cons.   In this episode, I wanted to shine a light on all sides of being successful.

Age is a dumb thing to control you. We have so many opportunities today to be successful. There should be no excuses. There are 8yr old kids making millions on Youtube. There are 40yr old men becoming professional athletes. We live in a world where society tries to limit you. As soon as you reach a certain age, they start putting all these limits on you that are all opinion based. We have everything we need today to do what we want. I’m even facing it today. I’ve been lucky to have had exc...

It’s that time of the year.  Everyone is talking about their New Year’s resolution.  I’m not one to really celebrate holidays or many traditional practices.  I never had a New Years Resolution.  I reflect on the previous year.  I learned that I want my life to be filled with joy and happiness.  So I do a deep review of all the activities, people, and experiences that were negative and positive.
