When people speak to me about why their kids aren’t progressing as they think they should. 🤔

Some simple advice 🫶

STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE PEOPLE FAILING YOUR KID.

Stop paying someone who can’t hit a jump shot in an empty gym to teach your kid how to shoot.

That’s not a coach. That’s a hobby with a price tag.🤦🏻‍♂️

Stop sending your kids to “vertical jump programs” run by guys who can’t jump over a piece of paper.

If they can’t do it, they can’t teach it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stop letting people act like they own your kids.🙏❤️

They’ll call you “family” 🙄
right up until you say you want better.

Then you’re disloyal. Then you’re the problem. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s not family. That’s control.

Stop thinking “playing politics” teaches your kid how to play basketball.

It doesn’t.
It teaches them to shrink. 
To stay quiet. 
To accept less.

Your kid deserves more than your comfort zone.

Be brave.
Be selfish.
Go find the real ones.
