🙏🏽Today I received my 10 years of served pin from my school district. There was a time in my life I never imagined working somewhere for 10 years but teaching has been my calling and blessing! #Year10#CoachJ#KSD111
One day you’re gonna wake up and AAU basketball will be over. No more weekend tournaments, packed gyms, or team hotels. No more “one more game” next weekend.
One day you’ll be out of eligibility for high school basketball. Then college basketball too.
And eventually, the thing that feels like your whole world right now becomes a memory.
So stop playing scared. Shoot your shot. Sprint the floor. Dive on the loose ball. Compete with confidence. Enjoy your teammates. Because one day you’ll wish you could go back and play just one more game with them.
Fear and hesitation have ended way more careers than missed shots ever will.
Just something to think about.
Glad to be home after a wild Louisville trip. Friday, a giant bird smashed my side mirror off. Saturday, we were rear ended by a teen in his first accident driving the car he saved up to buy. He was devastated. I gave him a hug and told him it’d be alright. Everyone was okay!
This is just my opinion. Coaches stop inviting kids to your elite camp unless they can attend for FREE! You send these generic emails/DM’s “this is a great opportunity to see you”, “hope you can make it” but you won’t go to any of their AAU, HS Games?! Just seems silly! 🤷🏽♂️
I am pleased to announce that I have officially graduated from McKendree University with my second Master's degree, earning my MAT (Master's in Teaching). I would like to extend my gratitude to Golden Apple for providing this exceptional opportunity.
