My name's Jackson McAndrew . I play basketball at Creighton University . I mean , I've had so many great , uh , mentors and coaches throughout my years coming up .
Um , work at everything and also , um , build those relationships with those guys and get feedback from them because I think that's a big part of it as well , um , and just taking that feedback and , um , continuing to , you know , put those things into your game . Yeah , what led me to Creighton , uh , was coach Mac and the rest of the staff . I thought it was all , you know , great people , great coaches , obviously , and , um , I also really love their play style .
My dad and both my parents in general have , um , been by my side helping me , you know , since day one and teaching me , um , a lot about things on and off the court . 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 .
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 .
You know a sweet place , um , but just being able to hang around everyone and , um , just build all all of our relationships with each other . 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 .
