TAP IN! 🔗

One of the 5 principles in the Live 5 Action Plan is Tap In.

There are three areas we believe you should always stay tapped into: your spirit, your network, and your generosity.

Today, that generosity looked like investing in the NextWave. 🏀

Proud to partner with @cfalincolnpark to serve lunch and pour into the next generation.

Believe. Drive. Tap In. Sacrifice. Execute. 🔥

Year 2 in the books for @nextwavestingrays.det 🤞🏽

Super proud of what this organization is becoming. From January to now, the growth has been real. Not just in basketball, but in confidence, discipline, effort, and belief.

To the coaches @camdollah , @apolloverorogers , @clf__4 and @herbiebuckets , y’all the truth. Y’all poured into these kids, pushed them, challenged them, and helped turn them up all season.

To the parents, I appreciate the love, sacrifice, and support more than y’all know. None of this works without you.

To the kids, this season proved one thing: there’s nothing y’all can’t do when you stay locked in. Year 2 was special, but next year we’re taking it even higher.

NextWave forever 🌊
Sink or Swim.

Grateful, but locked in

Live 5 Academy. NextWave. The LinkUp.
All part of something bigger than me

Built on purpose, not hype

Leadership comes with responsibility… I accept that

This next run different

Me and my family started this basketball organization last year to guide young players through the game with discipline, accountability, and consistency.
Last year was the foundation.
This year, the standard rises & the wave continues. 🌊🫡

Tryout Season 2.
