Got Basketball in You?

Great second games this past Monday hosted by theopportunityathletics !

My oldest son 𝕭𝕽𝕺𝕹🎰 and his team picked up a big win, bringing their record to 1-1. Cameron Brown team stays undefeated at 2-0, while Angelo’s team is now 0-2, but all three boys played hard and showed improvement.

Angelo scored 4 points against Cameron’s team, but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to capture it on video.

Tonight, De’Bron and UConn are back in action as they take on NC. Looking forward to another great game. Keep working, stay focused, and continue getting better every day! 🏀💪🏾🔥

Today the boys put in the work and completed the Got Basketball In You Training session. Unfortunately, nobody showed up on time for the free clinic. A few players arrived after we had already finished, so the boys stayed and continued hooping with them.

Hopefully next time I host a free clinic, more players will come out and be on time.

At the end of the day, it’s up to you how much you want to improve. If you want to become a better player, you have to get up, show up, and put the work in. Nobody can do it for you.

Keep grinding. 🏀💪🏾

Last night was the first theopportunityathletics League games of the season, and it was a fun and exciting night of basketball!

Cameron’s 5th & 6th grade team got the win. Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he played a great game. Unfortunately, he threw up after the game and said he may have eaten something at school that didn’t agree with him.

De’Bron’s 7th & 8th grade team lost a very close game, but they battled hard until the end.

Angelo’s 5th & 6th grade team also played hard but came up short. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to watch his game because he and De’Bron were playing at the same time in different gyms. Cameron played earlier at 7:30 PM, while Angelo and De’Bron tipped off at 8:30 PM.

Win or lose, I’m proud of all three boys for competing and giving their best effort. Overall, it was a great opening night for the O League, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. 🏀💪🏾

Practice, practice. Workout, workout. The more consistent you stay, the easier the game becomes when you step on the court. Keep grinding, sons. Your hard work today will pay off tomorrow. 💪🏾🏀

Yesterday after school, they got right to it. They spent 2 hours at the playground hooping and then headed straight to basketball practice at the league. I love their mindset and dedication. Basketball is truly embedded in them, and their work ethic continues to impress me every day.

Keep grinding, sons. The hard work will pay off. 🏀💪🏾❤️

“Got basketball in you” means if you got it, you got it. If you don’t, then this game will expose that. Nothing in basketball or training will ever be easy. It comes with pain, sacrifice, and a deep love for the game.

Don’t put a $5 work ethic into your craft and expect a million-dollar contract in return. Your work ethic has to match the level of success you’re chasing. But even if you never get paid to play, approach the game with a million-dollar work ethic anyway.

Play hard whether there’s a paycheck attached or not. The true reward comes from the growth, discipline, and passion you develop along the way.

At the end of the day, it all starts with heart, a dream, and the willingness to outwork yesterday’s version of yourself.

Love his mentality and high confidence - he reminds me so much of myself when I was a young baller!
