Use their name and no gain popularity or whatever publicity whatever it is but um ultimately all the work that we do behind the scenes that nobody really sees is being rewarded um so I think it is a special thing um I think it could be dangerous at sometimes if you don't use it the right way but um for the most part I think that it really does help us uh something that I'm about and like my personal brand is just putting other people first , leading with love and you know just . Being a man of faith is trying to really put God out there to everybody and show the light in me so that it could bring them to him . One final advice that I would give to athletes chasing division one scholarship is one , be you , um , don't try to be anybody else because you won't be good at that .
Your dreams , no matter what happens , all the adversity that you face , there's so much adversity that happens in life . Don't let that keep you down and then 4 , and the most important thing is like find faith , find God , and you know really do something with that because , um , with that there's everlasting peace . What's up guys ?
So just the fact that , um , I'm able to bounce back from that has taught me a lot that I could bring into my life too . Yeah , some ways that help me mentally is just my faith , just really diving into my faith , making sure that I have a relationship with God and I'm staying in the Bible and making sure that I'm also putting myself last in times that I don't need to be , I know the center of attention where I'm not the one playing on the field but I could get everything I can to the guys who are yeah my recruitment process was pretty cool um I went into . High school I was very small , um , kind of hit a growth spurt late and then as I hit the growth growth spurt and I went to different camps , um , I was reached out to by some coaches and .
Some of the best advice that I've been giving from coaches or mentors is , I just stay with the flow , you know , just keep going and don't get too high , don't get too low , just continue doing what I'm doing and do it the right way and not trying to get any type of certain . Um , glory from it , but just doing it because that's what I need to be doing . It's one of the most important things I focus on in my training regimen are recovery and um just strengthening , strengthening the little muscles .
Taking my free time and understanding when my free time is and then instead of taking naps and you know doing other things that I wanna do , I do make sure that my work is done or is on the way to being done in the timely manner and the whatever is due um I look at the due dates before um the week starts and then kind of determine when I need to start the assignments . Just to have the opportunity to be a role model for younger people and just also just people that kinda admire where I'm at is is is a blessing truly and puts you in a tough spot sometimes because you always feel like you have to be perfect but um I think the biggest thing is showing that you aren't perfect . And showing that it can be done from wherever you come from , whatever no amount of money you have , wherever you're from whatever your household looks like , like there is no difference between me and you as long as you're going out and you're trying to chase something I think the NIO , it provides advantages and obviously there's disadvantages to it too , but I think that it provides an advantage for athletes to truly .
