Pain is a better teacher than victory

Hey!

My basketball career didn’t end the way I’d hoped. And it wasn’t about talent. I played at the Division One level after all.

But mentally, I struggled. I got to a point where I’d overthink every shot, get in my own head, and 2nd guess myself constantly.

I went from being an All-State High School player to the guy at the end of the bench that the coach stopped coaching.

But like most hard stories, there was something good buried in it.

And Jon Park, who runs the instagram account @speakpickleball (who everyone should go follow btw, his work is fantastic) interviewed me and wrote the most in -depth article anyone’s ever done on my journey. It covers moments i’ve rarely talked about publicly.

You’ll see how the same mental game that held me back in basketball eventually became the foundation for everything I now teach at ThatPickleballSchool (7-day free trial open).

PS. A couple of weekends ago, I got to tour the Selkirk Sport HQ and man… 🤯. See for yourself here:
