So to be a role model , I have kids come up to you at the end of the game and sign their stuff , like , it means a lot cause I was in that position once and I was fortunate enough to have such a really Really good uh memories formed . I wish I I wish I had taken care of academics more right away from freshman year instead of waiting like a year or a semester , and like you might not think that's like really meaningful , but in the recruitment process , like all this stuff adds up and the more prepared you are , like , for coaches , like , for example , Northwestern reaches out and you're one of the best players in the country , but you don't have that good of grades , they're not like through the academics and due to that , like . It's gonna be harder for them to get you in , so you really want to worry about that .
She's terrific , um , helped me a ton of academics , but I would definitely say time management , and I started writing all the stuff I need to get done the night before , uh , in a book that I got , and it's been really helpful for productivity for sure . Yeah , so academically , I want to finish , uh , a good GPA . I want to make sure I take care of every quarter at a time and not look at it from a long run perspective .
It's gonna be harder for them to get you in , so you really want to worry about that . You don't even want to worry about your academic progression as you start getting to talking to these schools pretty seriously . I think it's been pretty good .
Uh , Evanston , the surrounding area , like you see the lake outside , the sunrise , all that stuff . Big 10 , uh , got the big name and obviously the school itself academic was just brilliant . So , really happy to be here .
So it's really making sure I take care of those 3 to 4 moments and give my team that confidence for them to to keep pushing . Yeah , so I want to give a shout out to Eileen , my academic advisor . She's terrific , um , helped me a ton of academics , but I would definitely say time management , and I started writing all the stuff I need to get done the night before , uh , in a book that I got , and it's been really helpful for productivity for sure .
