I played D1 basketball my whole life.
Then it ended and I had no idea who I was without it.
This is what happened after 🧵

luck is only lucky to those who have no plan and/or aren't willing to do the work

Raising your prices to attract better clients is the same thing as raising your standards to attract better people.
Yeah it gets lonely at first. But I’d rather be alone than surrounded by the wrong ones.
Never be afraid of a fresh start. Never be afraid to take back control.

I spoke at a Super Bowl panel.
Closed deals with 30 restaurants.
Nobody in those rooms cared about my stats.
I had to show up as something other than an athlete for the first time.
And I could.

Most athletes never learn how to be alone.
That’s why the transition breaks them. 🧵

The solitude taught me that.
You can’t know what you’re capable of while the crowd is still telling you.

Nobody talks about how well the stock market fits the athlete brain. But it does. Better than most people realize. Here’s why…🧵

Think about this. Your whole athletic career, someone else decided your ceiling.
Someone was always in the room deciding what you were worth.
The market doesn’t work like that.. Nobody decides your number but you. You can start with $500 and grow it methodically

95% of basketball is mental. Nobody argues that. The market is the same. The information is out there. The strategies exist. What separates people is whether they can stay grounded when it gets hard.
The market taught me the same lesson twice.

6/ Now I run an agency. I trade. I'm building something real.
Not because I had some perfect plan. Because I just kept moving and stayed honest with myself about what I actually wanted.

7/ If you played at a high level and you're in that in-between right now, just know it doesn't stay that way.
The identity you build after sports is yours in a way the athlete identity never fully was.
Everything after basketball was just me becoming who I am.
