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 . I think just being consistent , um , whether .
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 .
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 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 . Yeah , I mean this is our first time , you know , really traveling together as a team so I think just having those moments with all the guys and just being together um on this on this trip .
I play basketball at Creighton University . I mean , I've had so many great , uh , mentors and coaches throughout my years coming up . 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 .
