    Confidence Isn’t the Absence of Doubt

    You know the voice. The one that says you’re not enough. The one that shows up right when you need to perform. The one that gets loud when everyone is watching. I hear it too. At the peak of my career, it still shows up. The difference isn’t silencing it. It’s what you do when it speaks.

    I cried in my car. I yelled about the NBA. Then my performance coach gave me three steps that changed everything.

    Want vs Need: The Difference Between Playing Free And Choking

    Coach called my name with four minutes left. Get a bucket. It was my life goal to score in the NBA, right there in front of me. I wanted it so badly that wanting turning into needing, and I missed everything. This is the difference between the two.

    For The First Time In My Career, I Walked Into The Room And Felt Calm

    I walked into boomers camp past a wall of cameras waiting for Ben Simmons, and slipped by unnoticed. A few years ago that would have hurt, this time I was just happy to be there. This is a short one about what it feels like to belong in a room full of the best players in Australia.

    Why Your Hard Work Doesn’t Translate To On-Court Performance.

    I interview my skills trainer on how he approaches helping me get better. We discuss shooting, mental resilience, how we design drills and what it’s like working with shooting great Duncan Robinson.

    I Built A Community Around The Exact Thing That Was Causing My Suffering.

    When I was sixteen, three coaches told me my body wasn’t good enough to compete. Two years later, three more coaches said almost the exact same thing. I carried that sentence for fifteen years and built my whole career on proving them wrong. This week I wrote about what that chase actually cost me, why the word “pursuit” might be the problem, and the one on one loss to my little brother that showed me what excellence actually is.

    How I Rewired My Brain To Perform Under Pressure

    In college I choked in the biggest moment of my season and carried “choke artist” around for years. Last week my coach described me in one word: closer. This piece is the full seven year story of how I rebuilt my mind. The mindfulness, the mantras, the Big Boy drill, lowering the stakes, and the shot from the middle circle in the NBL grand final.
