@3SeedTraining Have players that score 10-15 a game aau scoring 30+ in HS. Let’s be real those high school stats mean nothing when you’re facing National level competition. Don’t have kids and I coach both HS & travel. Hs doesn’t compare in terms of difficulty to that National aau circuit

Tired of coaches and parents talking about “not a Juco kid, or nah we aren’t interested in Juco” when their kid has or athlete has NOTHING! The landscape has changed. Juco -> IVY! This kid didn’t need Juco because he was a bad student or bad kid. Need the exposure and my boy

@Hennen_Workouts @DaveWMiller We talk so much about aau. I coach both. Why don’t you talk about high school coaches who do the same exact thing. High school coaches have way more time than travel coaches. And most players do not get better during the season. Then get to aau expecting magical offers.

Be patient, don’t jump at the first opportunity because it is an opportunity. Sometimes it’s not best to work with friends. Sometimes you have to take chances. Don’t stay somewhere it’s toxic because it looks good. Good things happen to good people. Waiting for my turn.
