Everyone says they work hard — but do they really? 🏀

In this episode, I get real about what “working hard” actually means in the game of basketball and how my own definition changed as I grew as a player. From early grind days to understanding what true discipline, focus, and consistency look like.

I talk about the misconception of what working hard looks like, how to recognize when you’re just going through the motions, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack.

When I first signed to play professionally overseas, I thought I knew what to expect—basketball, travel, and living the dream. But the reality was so much deeper. In this episode of From The Heart: A Hooper’s Podcast, I’m breaking down the unexpected parts of the overseas journey: the lifestyle shifts, the tough adjustments, and the behind-the-scenes truths that don’t make the highlight reel. Whether you’re a player considering that path or just curious about life beyond the court, this episode gives you the unfiltered story.

In this episode, I open up about the tough reality of being coached out of loving the game — and now, as a coach myself, the responsibility I feel on the other side. I talk about the ways players can lose their joy because of how they’re coached, but also the role players have in that dynamic too. This is an honest look at how both sides impact the relationship, and how we can shift the culture so that basketball remains something we love, not something we grow away from.

In this episode of From The Heart: A Hooper’s Podcast, I open up about the roles I’ve had to play throughout my basketball journey — from taking a step back to stepping up in unexpected ways — and how those challenges shaped me into a stronger, more adaptable leader.

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead without being the “star player,” this conversation is for you. 🧡🏀
