I wanted to be a point-guard, but my coach (and dad) wouldn’t allow me until I learned how to dribble the ball. So, I built a paperclip chain. I worked on my ball handling every day for 20 minutes, adding a paperclip to my chain for every time that I completed my “program”. If I missed even one day, I had to take the whole chain apart. After over 550 consecutive days, I decided that my chain had s
erved its purpose and it was time to take it apart. The chain taught me what it means to truly commit to something. I believe this knowledge is not only relevant on the court, but also in many other facets of life. My mission is to utilize the lessons I learned throughout my career to help young players who share my passion for the game. Chaining and Training aims to provide young athletes with tools and strategies to train in a way that breeds success both on and off the court.
