I've done a lot of work with with our strength coach coach Jeremy in the weight room as well . I think that's been huge , um , it's paid off a lot . I think , um , also just taking things from Coach Mac or taking things from other coaches on the staff , just little tips and teachings that they show me , you know , every day , um , and , and throughout , uh , practices , workouts and all those things , just taking them and implementing into my game , and I think that's been huge .
I've also had great coaches like my high school coach , uh , Brian Schneider , um , and then , um , Coach Mac here at Creighton have all been great role models and coaches and . Mentors in my life , um , and helped me . The biggest piece of advice that they've , you know , instilled in me is that you know it's a process , you know , things aren't gonna happen overnight , um , that's where you gotta keep your head down , keep working , um , and through all the ups through the downs , um , you know , stay level headed and , um , continue to work hard and and all that you do and , um , and everything will take care of itself .
That's when a lot of coaches and , um , scouts , like a lot of them would start to come to the the games and everything , and I think the biggest thing for me was , you know , obviously it's it's a lot of pressure when they're out there on the sideline , but you just gotta remember like . That's , um , just remember why they're there and it's a blessing to have them there , um , so just just playing your game and , um , you know , that'll take care of itself . Yeah , I think , um , some advice I give to you know high school basketball player going through that process and with all those scouts and everything it's just kind of what I say before like just remember that , um , you know , that pressure that that's being put on you , it's a privilege to have that and it's , um , it means you're doing something right .
I think this feels a lot like AAU with all the other teams around and staying in the same hotels and everything and um just being able to see a lot of people is also really cool because I know a good amount of kids on their team and uh some other coaching staffs recruited me too so I'll be able to talk to them a little bit too it's been good . One of the most important things is just to take . Um , everything , you know , off the court as seriously on the court , your your sleep , your nutrition , all that stuff plays such a big role .
I thought it was a perfect fit for my game , um , and what I like to do and . Uh , their player development was another piece that I thought , um , was gonna help me a lot , and I needed to . I need to obviously grow a lot so um in my game , so I thought their player development was great .
