Sooooo yea guys, I just found out I tore my ACL…

what a way to start the month 😅

In the moment it happened I was SICK thinking about the work, the sacrifices, and everything I wanted to accomplish not only for my current team, but also my dreams to shock the world this year for Jamaica basketball.

I’ve come back from some CRAZY setbacks in life before and I know I’ll do it again.

This is just the start of a new chapter and I want to take you guys with me this time…

Welcome to…

Americup 2024 Recap 🫡🇯🇲

The truth is that this tournament tested my faith BIG TIME. After months of training with the deep desires to lead my country to making history, I pulled my hamstring EARLY in the FIRST GAME vs Mexico. Didn’t tell anyone until after the game and played through it, only for it to get pulled way worse vs. Canada to where I could barely walk without a limp.

I had no idea if I would be able to play vs. Puerto Rico but for days I prayed to God for the opportunity. Although I wasn’t anywhere near 100% and the result wasn’t what my heart desired, I told Him I all the glory would go his way no matter how it turned out! I’m SICK of finishing in the quarter finals BUT what seemed impossible just that morning, was done and I have no other explanation but God! 🙏🏽

If you sleep on us though, I will gladly tuck you in. The time is coming real soon 🤞🏽❤️‍🔥 taken in San Juan, Puerto Rico by @therealcp23

I can’t play no basketball but BOY IF I COULD 😭😂

Guys season is about to start this weekend and a lot of y’all have seen me in a jersey lately…

Sooo I had to clarify for everyone asking: NO, I’m not playing yet. I’m only almost 6 months post-op and still on this comeback journey.

But trust me… the day will come soon enough. 🫡🏀 by @therealcp23

4 exercises helping me get back on the court after ACL Reconstruction Surgey 🏀

At this stage of my ACL recovery, training isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about rebuilding the strength, control, conditioning, and confidence I’ll need to play again.

These are 4 exercises from one of my recent sessions with @mariapereira_pt and why they’re part of my training:

🦵🏽 Leg Extensions → quad strength + knee extension
💪🏽 Floor-Seated Lat Pulldowns → upper-body strength
🛷 Sled Pushes → lower-body force production
🚴🏾‍♀️ Assault Bike Sprints → full-body power + conditioning

Swipe through to see why I’m doing each movement, what it’s training, and how I believe it will transfer to the basketball court.

The goal isn’t just to finish out the 9 months of recovery. It’s to be ready for everything the game asks of me when I get there.

4 months post-op. Still working. Still building. 🏀🦿

TRANSFER: Stronger quads help with jumping, landing, sprinting, decelerating, and absorbing force on the court.

TRANSFER: Helps with upper-body strength for contact, rebounding, and controlling your body during the game

TRANSFER: Trains repeated full-body bursts of power needed for acceleration, transitions, and explosive plays.

TRANSFER: Develops leg drive and force production for acceleration, sprinting, and pushing through contact. by @therealcp23
