    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.

    Why Grinding Alone Is The Biggest Lie In Sports

    For three years in college I trained in secret. No teammates, no coaches, no one. I was going to shock the world alone. It almost ended my career. This week I wrote about the life of the lone grinder, the team I slowly built and the scariest but best decision I ever made. Asking for help.

    Even The Greek Gods Fall To The Danger Of Unbalanced Ambition

    This one’s a warning story. About the Greek God Hephaestus, thrown from Olympus at birth, who spent an eternity trying to be enough. I can relate in my quest to play in the NBA. Dedicating my life to work to help me feel like I belong.

    Why The Game Speeds Up When You Need To Perform Most (And How To Slow It Down)

    This one’s a shift for me. For years I’ve been working on myself. Books, therapy, journaling, articles. All pointed inward. The deepest sense of belonging I’ve ever felt came when I pointed outward. When I started giving instead. I break down the Lakers failure, the iso win, and what Cody said that changed how I think about every game I’ll ever play.

    Grief, Resentment, and Leaving Home At Fifteen

    A beautiful Monday morning. Acai. Beth. Oaklynn on my lap. Then a Noah Kahan song moved mud inside me that has been thick for a long time. This is about leaving home at fifteen and the loop that’s been on reply since.
