I am now playing for Soles Basketball Club in the LNB League in the DR. Before I finished in the Basketball Champions League East and West Asia final in Dubai. Before there we competed in qualifying rounds in Mongolia and Indonesia. I hadn’t spoke or said anything in quite some time but it felt right so here goes nothing. Catch You on the Rebound!

Malaysia wrap up how the season started and ended, with a glimpse into what it took to get to the playoffs and almost into the finals. The times and the people who put the time and energy in to the season and what they did to help us get where we were trying to go.

As with doing things afraid, there are also things you have to conquer alone. Not all things of course but for sure in life there are roads to cross that only you can go down. The journey when you look back is much larger of an accomplishment because you did alone and you’ll realize where and when to do things with community and the company of others and you’ll know when you next to move alone.

Yes you heard me. Do it scared. If it’s not hurting anybody, if it’s just an imaginary glass that you’ve created that you need to break through in order to advance in life, this is your reminder. When it’s your passion, when it keeps you up at night, when you can’t find the answer that you’ve been looking for but you know the question wouldn’t have come to you for no reason you’ve got to shoot. All 2024 write down things places or people that intimidate you or cause you to hesitate and go through the list one by one palms sweaty, voice cracking I don’t care how it looks, how crazy you feel. When you take risks you’re crazy for a minute and free from that hold forever. So do it anyway.

On a 6 Plus Hour Bus Ride, I’ve been feeling like shit the whole ride coming down with a cold. The past few nights I’ve been sleepless and I’m here to clear the air on why. The misses are just as important as the makes. Tune in Let’s Talk About It.

After a long hiatus I’m back to check in with all of my lovely listeners. Since then I’ve turned 31, and I am back overseas playing in the Malaysian Basketball League. Meditation is a topic of discussion as well as creating space for the life and the things you wish to obtain.

Pain is awareness. When life is not going your way pay twice as much attention to what god is doing in your life.

This episode starts off as a vent about meditation. I even mention the late great Tupac Shakur. Jordan Green author of the Athlete Journal and how the daily practices with the journal are working on me. Your past is up to your own interpretation even as bad as it can be how you remember it is up to you.

Back In Taiwan how? As much as we place our Self Worth and Identity into our passions and careers, we fail ourselves when we fail to give ourselves the opportunity to fixate our sight on what god has for us. Passion and work ethic will always translate into something honorable but it also may never satisfy us if we place to much value on a man made plan. Spend time with yourself in prayer, an try to wrap your head around a reality that god has for you and watch your life change in ways you couldn’t imagine.

A great mentor of mine who played alongside Karl Malone at Louisiana Tech once told me a story of how he wanted his coach to know he serious he was about his game. They had fallen behind in the game and he felt like coach wasn’t doing much to change that so he walked himself over to the scorers table and checked himself into the game. I took away a gem from that. Just check yourself in the game. A coach, a boss, your community, loved ones and friends included they see you how they see you and sometimes that’s limited due to familiarity. You don’t have to accept that. By checking yourself in the game, your choosing your own fate. You start to see things as they are and if your patient humble and wise enough you then seek and ask for god to allow you to see his vision of yourself. That’s when things get scary. To have to trust situations that make no sense, to lose positions you worked so hard to get and still not see the next step but have to keep walking. Lastly I’ll say that once you declare something in prayer all you have to do next is take the first step towards god and as you walk….THE WAY APPEARS.

Well listeners I hate to no be transparent because so much of life’s struggles seem easier when you realize that others too are dealing with similar things. Listen follow up respond share stories of your own. Catch You on the Rebound.
