This was probably one of the most influential exercises I ever did. Every person on the team wrote something about everyone in the program. These are the words I often reflect to, and THIS is my “WHY” - So grateful ✨

Receiving a scholarship offer is an honor. No matter what division, conference, level - that program values & foresees greatness in YOU. Amongst a big list of recruits, millions of evaluations and conversations, you are chosen… that is a blessing.

Remember that an "offer" grants you an opportunity to play basketball and receive a free education through it. Going to college for free, while playing the sport you love should never be taken for granted. Some people will never have that gift- you are blessed!

One of the hardest things to do, is to keep working hard without seeing immediate results ... putting trust in a process & believing in a big picture. Keep working, know results are coming. Trust the process & the work you are putting in. Hard work always pays off & shows out!

Your coaches will always be your #1 motivator, supporter, fan, advocate, protector, etc. With those titles, expect complete commitment to YOU. In every shape of form. Coaching isn’t always about praise- more so about guiding you through the discomfort of GROWTH.

Being a top notch athlete means working so hard that you know you can get your heart broken every game. But you don't fear the heart break. You know that even when/if you give something your all, you may not win. But being a competitive athlete means fear does not define you.

The player has to want it more than the coach, more than her parents, more than anyone. Your coaches are there to guide your hunger. But you have to want it more than us. Your hunger and our knowledge = no limits.

One of my favorite things to see... is a player taking a charge. A stat that is not recorded in your individual box store, but shifts complete momentum for your team. A sacrifice that comes both physically and mentally, by putting your team first and making defense a priority.
