Happy Friday, people! I’m excited about today’s message because it allows us to take a situation with a such a negative connotation and realize that it doesn’t have to be the end. A couple of weeks ago we talked about how success isn’t a destination, rather it’s a journey! Well, the same applies for failure.…

Hoopers… People… Good morning! Let’s talk about resilience really quickly. We have to move on, bounce back, come back! We can’t get caught up in yesterday’s problems or last game’s complications. We have to focus on today’s victories and tomorrow’s successes. We can’t lose sleep over the lack of playing time that we received yesterday……

Good morning Hoopers and all! Just a little encouragement for the middle of the week. We all have goals… I hope. Some we’ve reached, some are a work in progress, and others, you’re thinking about throwing in the towel. I know it gets tough. It’s off season and we may not have had the season…

Good morning Hoopers and Peeps! For a moment, let’s work on ourselves. Not the fake work that we do for praises. Not the work that we do trying to outshine someone else. Not the fake aspirations that were given to us so now we try to convince ourselves that they’re our own. I’m talking about…

Happy FRIDAY!!! It’s a new day. It’s Friday! It’s Good Friday. So make it good! We can’t move forward in our journeys if we are living so much in our past. It’s great to reflect. It’s great not to forget. But we can’t live there. A lot of players (people in general too) only see…

Good morning, Hoopers! Starting today, let’s get after it! Whatever “it” is, let’s get after it… and quietly! No announcements, just work… because sometimes people don’t believe us anyway… and rightfully so! What would you do if you’re at the orchard and the salesman tells you the tree you’re looking at is a lemon tree…

Good morning, Hoopers! Today, I just wanted to encourage you to go after what you want… aka… chase your dreams. Dreams aren’t easily attained, so you have to chase them. You have to play tag with them! Your dreams won’t run at a steady pace in one direction making it easy to be caught. As…

We have to be careful of the company that we keep, because they can influence us without our consent. Do you know why your parents don’t want you to hang around certain crowds? Because you will grow comfortable with their actions and behaviors. So, when there are groups of kids that might get in trouble…

Good morning Hoopers! We must know that there is mutual benefit in the rubbing of two iron blades together… the edges become sharper, making the knives more efficient in their task to cut and slice. The same applies with hoopers. Sometimes we don’t want to go to certain program, schools, or workouts because there is…

Good morning hoopers! When you start a marathon, when you run a race, even when you go from Point A to Point B, those who were there in the beginning aren’t necessarily going to be there at the end. People get tired, leg cramps, flat tires, pulled over by the police (lol), and even change…
