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 . So , um , just continue to .
Yeah , my recruitment , uh , I really picked up , uh , during my junior summer , um , at 17U . 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 .
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 .
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 faced some challenges and adversity coming up um through some injuries , um , things of that nature , and then also just , you know , not , you know , being as good as I wanted to be and good enough to . You know , play at a high level and so just continue to work hard and um . Um , grow as a basketball player and as a person and , um , working out and all those things and just , you know , getting to where I want to be .
