š§ WEEKLY FOCUS: [WEEK 1] GROWTH MINDSET (PART 2): Why Alignment Changes the Ceiling
Let me share something personal with intention.
I grew up with parents who loved me deeply.
They worked hard.
They sacrificed.
They instilled morals, discipline, respect, and resilience.
Those values are the reason Iāve succeeded in life.
But hereās the honest part š
Because they had to work and because we didnāt have access to real basketball education, we werenāt fully aligned around my basketball journey.
Not for lack of love.
Not for lack of belief.
But for lack of information and structure.
š MY JOURNEY (NO REGRETS ā JUST TRUTH)
I played at three different colleges.
I competed at a high level.
I learned a lot.
I donāt regret a single step.
But as a grown man looking back with clarity I can say this:
If my parents and I had been more alignedā¦
If we understood development, recruiting, mindset, and timingā¦
If the support at home matched the demands of the journeyā¦
I believe I couldāve gone further.
Not because I lacked talent.
But because alignment multiplies potential.
š WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUR CHILD
Many athletes donāt fail because of effort.
They stall because:
- Parents push without clarity
- Athletes try without direction
- Emotions replace strategy
When parents and players arenāt aligned:
- Confidence becomes fragile
- Pressure increases
- Progress slows
When they are aligned:
- Mistakes become lessons
- Support feels steady
- Growth feels intentional
Thatās where confident, productive players are built.
šØāš©āš§ THIS IS WHY THIS COMMUNITY EXISTS
I donāt want your child to look back one day and say:
āI did wellā¦ but I wonder how far I couldāve gone.ā
Not because of regretābut because of missed alignment.
This community is about:
- Educating parents
- Empowering athletes
- Creating shared language around growth
- Breaking cycles, not blaming families
Love isnāt the issue.
Education + alignment is the upgrade.
š THE REAL GROWTH MINDSET SHIFT
Growth mindset isnāt just individual.
Itās:
- A parent who understands the process
- An athlete who trusts development
- A family moving in the same direction
Thatās how ceilings get raised.
š¬ COMMENT BELOW š
Letās start breaking cycles together:
Whatās one way you want to better support or align with your childās journeyāstarting now?
No guilt.
No judgment.
Just growth.
