Hoops & Life was created in an attempt to teach aspiring basketball players how to improve their game at an alarming rate. This rapid rate of improvement is only possible by implementing an aggressive, intelligent, almost animalistic work ethic. Simultaneously, we teach our players how to apply this type of commitment to excellence to other areas of their lives such as academics, relationships with people, and their spiritual lives. Ten years ago, I was going through a rough time in my life, where my struggles to find myself and my purpose in life had come to a head. I was living recklessly to say the least, and after spending hours per day for a 6 month period in my Bible, in prayer, and meditating on what I read, I had a vision from God.

In this vision, God showed me that he would use me to help people find themselves and prevent them from going through the same things that I had. The vehicle to do this was basketball, but the purpose was to change lives. Seven years later, I'm living that vision that seemed so far away and loving every minute of it. Finally, let me be the first to say that I don't say or do everything right all the time, but I'm a lot better than I used to be thank God. The funny thing about my purpose that God gave me and did not tell me about is that the parents, kids, coaches, and family members that I come in contact with provide just as much of a positive impact on my life as I do to theirs. With that being said, let's go to work.
