“Most people never truly understand what they’re capable of because they’re afraid to make mistakes publicly. If you only make mistakes in private or you never really go for it and choose to stay safe, your self-talk never gets tested.”

Fusion Academy 15U continues their dominant weekend, moving to 3-0 with a win over JSI Elite. They’ve got a strong backcourt that pushes the pace and causes havoc on the defensive end.

Kendr Washington turned defense into offense all game and led all scorers with 23 points. Zander Pughsley pushed the pace at the point guard spot, was a pest on defense, and added 14 points. Carter Cantrell was a smooth operator in this one, adding 20 points of his own. #BAMAJAM

Your attention is your mental spotlight… What are you pointing at?

You will see a complete shift in your life if you can hold the fundamental stance that everything that happens in your life happens for you. It’s all for your development.

Even if your talent moved you up a few steps

Sport doesn’t just give you what you want, it gives you what you work for

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings

[John Barnes @JohnBarnes___]

Uncomfortable isn’t a choice, but where you experience it is.

[John Barnes @JohnBarnes___]

Humility is not thinking less of your self, but thinking of your self less.
