Discovering what is possible within ourselves, together
MY MISSION is to bring joy to young people though basketball
Why joy?
Somehow we lost it along the way. The culture got obsessed with "the grind" and having to sacrifice who you are and the enjoyment of life in the pursuit of your dreams. That's backwards - if you're going to design your life and live the way you want, you have to tap into your limitless energy, which comes from the heart. The way to access that energy is by finding joy in what you do.
I still coach at a high level and it's not all sunshine and roses everyday. We work hard, challenge each other, and sometimes there are difficult days. But each and everyday is infused with a sense of joy and love. This carries us through the difficult moments and allows us to love what we do everyday.
What else?
That's it! We start with joy, and continue to relentlessly pursue it in what we do and how we live. We practice, train, and play with a smile on our face. We recognise that basketball is a game that is to be played! Something cool happens when we place joy at the centre of all that we do; we experience life exactly the way we want to; the universe begins to organise itself around our energy Do you want to be a successful basketball player? Want to go pro? Well, for me, after a long time of "grind mentality" I have realised that life is precious and we should not resist it. When you resist things as they are you get more resistance - if you want to achieve your wildest dreams you must begin with a spark - that spark is joy.
