A lot of AAU coaches/Trainers attach themselves to a kid and try to build their brand off them. To me that’s temporary success. Long term success is showing that you’re able to do it with multiple kids.

Hate has 4 letters, so does LOVE. Enemies has 7 letters, so does FRIENDS. Lying has 5 letters, so does TRUTH. Hurt has 4 letters, so does HEAL. Cry has 3 letter, so does JOY. Negativity has 10 letters, so does POSITIVITY. Life is 2 sided. Choose the better side of it
