I am honored to be #23 on ESPN’s 100 Top California Recruits! My recruitment is still open. I have a few visits coming up, that I’m excited about, but at this time I am not committed.

It doesn’t matter how naturally talented you are, if you don’t work hard, listen to your coaches, and put your team first, you won’t go far in your career.

One of the best things we started doing this year was playing 1 on 1 no dribble from the charge circle. Forced guys to evolve some creativity, use fakes/shakes, pivots, and learn to play angles. Showed up in our finishing by the end too.

When athletes play for the team, not the spotlight, magic happens.

Success is not about individual glory; it's about collective achievement.

It's not about who stands out; it's about who stands together.

Congratulations Tallis on your commitment to Washington State. Keep working hard!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

As an athlete, some of your biggest improvements come after you swallow your pride and start accepting constructive criticism.

[Cole Epperson @ColeEpperson4]

Thank you for All-League honors. I couldn't have done it without my teammates. Thank you @Jesuitsacbball.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Let your kids struggle, fail & lose. Experiencing loss is essential for growth, maturity & learning. Kids aren’t supposed to win all the time. Fake trophies are meaningless. Let them feel & accept failure sometimes. It’s a part of life. You can either pamper them or prepare them!

If you're not taking risks, making mistakes, and getting out of your comfort zone in practice, then you're wasting your time.

Coaches: Please watch this. It works.

Grateful to be named delta player of the year🙏🏽. Getting back to work…

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

As an athlete, be prepared to face failure many times in your career. You will be overlooked. You will be doubted. You will be rejected. You will suffer from slumps and injuries. But you must stay positive and persevere until you succeed!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Don’t run away from pressure situations. Bravely step into them and get comfortable being uncomfortable!

"Your attitude is your greatest characteristic. You don't control your intelligence, your size, or your God-given talents. What you do control, though, is your attitude. We can all have a positive attitude. It's a choice we make. It gives us the courage to never fear failure."

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

As an athlete, always show respect to your opponent. Never be a poor sport or a sore loser. Have the maturity to win with humility and lose with grace.

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

You are responsible for your effort.
You are responsible for your attitude.
You are responsible for your mindset.
You are responsible for your unselfishness.
You are responsible for what kind of teammate you are.

Own what you can own.

Extremely well said!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

The path of an athlete is not linear. It’s a journey of constant evolution, where the only opponent worth beating is the person you were yesterday.

Champions understand, in the end, true success is not just about what you achieve, but who you become in the process.
