It’s crazy to think that 3 years ago today I started CN3TRAINING and the impact I have made on every kid I have came across. Going into it all I wanted to do was give back and share my knowledge of the game to the next generation. Thank you to everyone that has supported my biz!

Fort Hays beating K-state is a prime example of there is good basketball at every single level. That D1 or bust is so outdated. I know some dawgs that are at the D2 level rn and I know one that’s going to kill on that level the next 4 yrs and his name being @johnsonj4ck #CarryOn

How about both the mental and physical strength of Ava Jones? The player who has been on everyone's hearts over the past half year suited up for Nickerson last night! She hit a layup to start the game, a moment that no one will forget for a very long time. Keep fighting, Ava!

I love the off-season grind it separates the goods from the greats. Who is actually getting in the gym and getting purposeful work in and who is going to the gym wasting their time for a couple of hours. Coaches tend to find out pretty quick in November though 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don’t be surprised when try outs comes around and you haven’t been in the gym working on your game and you’re going against guys that have been GRINDING all off-season on their craft. You will get exposed I promise you. Don’t believe me? Test it out and let me know how it goes.
