Throughout my years in coaching I have given fully of my time energy and resources to the development of young athletes often at significant personal cost. Like many in this profession I have sacrificed irreplaceable moments with my family and invested financially in ways that extended well beyond my formal responsibilities. These are the quiet burdens coaches carry in service to the game and the young people we mentor. There comes a moment however when one must choose what is sustainable and right for their own life and loved ones. I have reached that point. I can no longer continue to miss the time with my family that I have already forfeited for so many years nor can I sustain the personal financial commitments that have accompanied this work. Prioritizing my family is not a rejection of coaching. It is an affirmation of what matters most. I want to be unequivocal. I do not condone and will never accept the verbal mistreatment or physical aggression of any coach. Such conduct is unacceptable in our community. While I am stepping back from certain roles I will continue to support the recruitment and advancement of the players I have coached just as I always have. That commitment remains unchanged. I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the Director position with the Southeast Stars. This opportunity allows me to remain actively involved in the sport while serving as a more present leader and family member. To everyone who has been part of this journey and offered genuine support I am sincerely grateful. For those who may view this decision differently I hold no ill will. Life continues forward and I am at peace with the choice I have made. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely observed “In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” I wish everyone continued success and good fortune.

The beginning of change has started in a small town called Anahuac. Very proud of the development of these kids here. The shift will continue to happen. Very excited about our next chapter.

Yep we are going to be good. Added a huge commitment on Sunday. This summer is going to be fun!!!

It’s funny you still hear organizations and parents of organizations tell kids not to come to us because we don’t talk to coaches or we won’t be EYBL. The same people said we won’t be EYCL. Then go from one hate to the next. All I you have to do is look at our timeline. We promote our kids constantly. We have kids playing from D-1, D-2, D-3, Juco and NAIA. Everyone of our kids have found their fit. There are great places to play on every level. We accept and love all of our kids and respect the coaches and scouts on every level because we know how hard they work. If you want to know just look for yourselves. Any team that lead with talking down on an organization don’t trust them. Go where your kid will get an opportunity. It’s not only about the leagues, it’s about the proof that we get kids into school even before we got the opportunities for these great leagues. With or without we deliver . Come with us and get real chances not just promises. #Basketball #NBA #BallIsLife #Hoops #Bball #BasketballNeverStops #NikeBasketball #BasketballIsLife #NBABasketball #BasketballTraining #SlamDunk #BasketballLife #BasketballTraining #BasketballCoach #BasketballPlayer #BasketballDrills #HoopDreams #GrindTime #BasketballSkills #NextLevel #CollegeBasketball #HighSchoolBasketball #YouthBasketball #BasketballSeason @ProskillsHTX @StarTraining3 @AmetuerSportsSL @dexsmooth

This is the one. Be there are get left out. We are making history. Be part of it.

This is the last shot. Come and join the family. We are taking off. Don’t listen to the outside voices. Everyone trying to convince you not to come are threatened by what we have built. The fastest growing organization in Houston by far. How many kids have they produced on their own? How many none 6ft kids without national attention have they gotten scholarships for? Some of these organizations have kids that contacted me personally to help them get recruited. Some of the other ones have claimed to get scholarships for kids that I personally helped get into school. Don’t believe the hype nor the negativity. Our coaches really do this. Come play for coaches that do this full time. Not just to fill our rosters. Money is not the motivation. Success for our families and players are. Don’t be fooled. Don’t sit on the bench for these stacked teams. Come make your own mark with us. We get kids signed. @ProskillsHTX @dexsmooth @StarTraining3 @AmetuerSportsSL @LdYPanthersM #Basketball #Sports #GirlsWhoHoop #YouthSports #Athlete #GirlsBasketball #BasketballTryouts #HoustonBasketball #TexasBasketball #ProskillsBasketball #HoustonSports #WomensBasketball #AAUBasketball #TryoutSeason

Don’t be fooled by overpriced teams that make promises but never follow through. Those same teams don’t get girls signed. It’s easy to get girls signed that will get signed on their own.
