Don’t just live your life. Arrange it.

You don't have to play in a winning program to be recruited...

Don’t start your day without knowing something you will accomplish.

What’s your mission today?

[BJ Edwards @CoachBJ_3]

This has to be one of my favorite plays of the summer! @Kionus_ one handed cross court DIME to @angelpaganjr_ for a knockdown 3!

Super fun when we play the game the right way. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

It is every man’s responsibility to transparently share with the next generation the things that caused them regrets in his life.

Avoidance of that represents that man’s desire to be joined in his misery instead of raising up our youth so they can do better than he did.

If school isn’t your thing, don’t assume learning isn’t your thing.

This summer, ask yourself a challenging question that you really want to know the answer to and then learn what you need to learn to find the answer.

Fall in love with learning.

It's entirely possible to get to the end of your life without ever having realized your gifts, and it's likely if you aren't doing something to figure it out.

Some need to go into the wilderness alone and confront their demons. Go. Confront them. And then come back and get to work.

Don’t spend your life wandering in the desert pretending you’re looking for your demons. You know exactly where they are.

Some of us are out here trying to control our environments, other people, situations - everything except the only thing we actually can control. Ourselves.

Pictures from yesterdays “X3” showcase. Practiced RB & QB!

I also got the best RB in my group award!

[Joe Price III @CoachJP3]

It always amazes me when potential student-athletes don’t have questions when coming on Unofficial/Official visits.
It should be a info gathering experience, not just a sports vacation! Right?

What are some questions every athlete should ask when visiting programs this summer?

[Pickup the Ball, Inc. @PickuptheBall_]

It’s amazing how small of an action or how simple a word can be to someone who needs it to change the course of their day - and the course of yours.

Our habits can become like old friends, a place of refuge and comfort, a way to feel better. What could you replace that habit with when you are looking for safety, comfort, and to feel better? We are built for connection, not isolation.

One advantage of having goals is that it gives you a framework to act within, irrespective of your feelings.

[Pickup the Ball, Inc. @PickuptheBall_]

Reach out to your friends and family regularly, even if you don't think they need it. You can't tell what someone is going through by looking at them. And be ready to listen.
