The Book 📚 is back up and available. I am blessed to be a blessing with my story. Order your copy today or DM me directly. Let’s tap in and grow this summer!
Dream Beyond Your Surroundings: How to use where you are as a road map to your purpose
🗣For all Incoming Freshman college students: Let your parents set up your dorm room, take pictures, & introduce themselves to people in your hall. It might embarrass you but it’s hard for them. Your starting a new chapter of life & they are too! It’s a blessing not a burden.
Attention Freshman‼️When your mom wants to unpack your stuff -Let Her. When your dad wants to introduce himself to people-Let Him. This day is exciting for you but it is HARD for them! It’s a blessing to have parents that want to help you. Cherish the moment!
#MoveInDay
Attention Freshman who move in today!!When your Mom wants to unpack all of your clothes and make your bed- let her. When your dad wants to introduce himself to people on your floor- let him.
As you start a new chapter of your life they are also starting theirs. Let them LOVE you
Your wins as a coach will eventually turn into a “trivia question” or a paragraph in your bio. The lives you impact and change will last forever!What footprints are you leaving behind? 👣
We waste so much time 🕰 seeking the approval of others! We post things placing our value on likes & retweets.
Our FOCUS 👀should be on who does God say I am? What am I rooted in? What is my purpose?
Our phones 📱 have become weapons of comparison! Social media is nothing more than a highlight tape of other people’s lives. YOU are special and God’s handiwork. 🙏
Comparison is the THIEF of joy! Social media can create this image of comparing what you have to someone else. Focus on YOUR growth & seek 👀YOUR happiness, not in how many likes or retweets you get.

Silence sends a message so let me be loud and yell 🗣I’m BLACK and proud! I’m more than a coach, we will not be quiet and just recruit. Praying for peace and justice during this time. Love will always be the solution to change.

Coaches take care of YOU and help someone else! We have NO experience to relate to this experience. The constant change of COVID has eliminated our power to plan. Be grateful for each day and take care of your mind daily 🧠.

Persistence, Faith, and finally finished ✍️
Excited to announce and share that this project is complete. God has given me a story and I am blessed to share it with the 🌎.
Twitter shouldn’t validate your value as an athlete. Recruiting is all about finding the right FIT for YOU academically, athletically, socially, and spiritually. Love what we have to offer here at SU!
#FlyWithUs
HS athletes and Coaches I get asked this pretty commonly in recruiting. Without the 📚‘s your options are limited. Take pride in being the BEST student YOU can be!
200 Turkeys and boxed food for the community of Salisbury gone in 30 mins. Our ability to serve to those in need is far more of blessing than anything we will receive. Huge s/o to Mr. Sterling and East Salisbury Elementary for having me.
I wake up everyday excited that my job and my work is to serve my players and lead
@SalisburyMBK
! This platform is a dream & I love everything this University represents.
#FlyWithUs
I will NOT shut up & coach I WILL use this to empower & educate. Until our blackness is no longer a threat in this country we must keep fighting. Progress & justice is ALL we want.
NO STATEMENT NEEDED! I am a BLACK MAN. I am passionate about loving others and what I do. I am a husband & father. I stand against injustice for black people & have battled against it personally.

Very grateful for the recent mention in Frostburg St magazine by the

My wife and I will always be thankful for our time as Bobcats.
Being bitter NEVER makes things better! Complaining is a contagious action that causes you to be negative. Focus on being thankful for what you have and not complaining about things you can’t control.
When our voices aren’t heard we take away your entertainment! LOVE what these athletes are doing. Actions will always speak louder than words. We will keep fighting through the pain

Congrats to the Jays and to a man that has been one of the biggest influences in my career
@CoachJ_Loeffler
. Forever grateful of you taking a chance on me when no one else would. Keep enjoying the ride coach! Many more will be coming your way.
Players there are 2 things to remember during this time of year.
1. Your Coaches voice, thoughts, and expectations are what is most important! Be a GREAT listener.
2. Be grateful to what is given to you. If it is gear or an opportunity make sure you say thank you!
All of your decisions get much easier when you remove quitting as an option! Don’t be afraid of failure, you only fail when you STOP🛑 trying.

Remember: On the other side of pain there is a REWARD! Some of the most painful things we go through lead us to something special or pull greatness out of us.
