One of the best experiences yet!!!! Had so much fun spending time with horses 🤠❤️🐾 Grateful for these moments 🫶🏼
So grateful for the opportunity to spend time serving alongside Equine Collective INC. today. The staff was absolutely incredible — so welcoming, passionate, and caring in everything they do. We had the best time connecting with the horses and learning more about their mission.

You are who you can guard. The ability to shoot the 3 doesn’t automatically make you a guard at the collegiate level. If you want to play a guard in college, spend time defending ball screens-getting over successfully and containing!

I want to take a minute to thank ALL the clubs , college coaches and workers that made the @D2Epxosure Springfield Showdown a great event. With 60 coaches in attendance… I’d say year one was a success

Saw so many great players with diverse skill sets this past weekend. But the #1 thing that kept popping into my head while evaluating was this. How do you impact winning? That skill alone is different for every single player being evaluated. Be the best version of YOU!

coach tyler marsh on gabs in postgame presser: “it’s very hard for me to take her off the court, even when she’s gasping for air… she just finds ways to be effective on both ends of the floor and she doesn’t get disgruntled or out of rhythm when things don’t go her way…”

Competitive character is not “wanting to win.” Everybody wants to win. It’s whether your habits get sharper when you’re frustrated. Whether you can take hard coaching without making it personal. Whether you stop negotiating with the standard the second it gets uncomfortable. Pressure doesn’t build character. It audits it.
