I have heard preachers say that every day you are either headed into a trial, in the middle of a trial, or just coming out of a trial. That is a sobering thought. I once listened to a former Navy SEAL who said life is…
I’ve been fortunate to see the game of basketball from just about every angle. My journey has taken me from the WNBA hardwood to European arenas, from the global stage with the Nigerian National Team, and even to courts with the Harlem Globetrotters. But maybe…
One of the best lessons I took away from 30 years in coaching is this: don’t take yourself too seriously. Of course, we should be serious and intense about what we do—but too often in high school athletics, we carry pressure that belongs at the…

There’s a reason most people don’t put in extra work—because it’s hard. I’ve been there. After a long day, your body’s begging to rest, your mind’s drained, and nobody would blame you for calling it. But I’ve played in the WNBA—and how I got there…
For 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a head coach and athletic director in Texas, and I’ve learned that one of the most powerful things a coach can do is push athletes beyond what they believe is possible. It’s not just about…
