A reflection of my career…

When I look back on everything I’ve accomplished, the crazy part is I never saw most of it coming. Not because I didn’t believe in myself, but because life kept trying to convince me I wasn’t supposed to make it.

Too little.
Not big enough.
Not strong enough.
Not the one they were picking first.

But somehow, someway… I made it.

I didn’t have a trainer. I didn’t have everything handed to me. I got it out the mud. I came from the trenches. I was the kid who needed a coach to pick him up for practice. The kid who had to find a ride. The kid who didn’t have all the support in the world — but God gave me everything I was lacking.

And every time I believed, God showed up and showed out.

There were so many long nights where I had to fight battles nobody saw. Mentally, I had to keep going when quitting would’ve made sense. I remember looking left and right, watching other guys get scholarships, get attention, get opportunities — and during my high school career, that was depressing. It hurt. But I kept going.

I was the little engine that could.

My hunger saved me.
My passion carried me.
My love for the game pushed me.
My will to never quit became my advantage.

This is redemption. This is proof. This is what happens when you keep writing, even when people try to close your book early.

Moral of the story:

YOU WRITE THE BOOK.
YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR OWN STORY.
