Chapman Irish Boys Basketball

Write this down: If you choose to be part of a team… showing up as less than your best is selfish. Your standard impacts everyone else. When you don’t bring your best, you lower the ceiling for the whole room. Lead accordingly.

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony. But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing. Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it. Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me. Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping. Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie. I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me. Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work. I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today. Start now.

RESPONDING TO MISTAKES "I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that. Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

Every young athlete should listen to how Jameis responded to being QB3.

Thank you to Foxhole Paintball & Airsoft for hosting us today for a fun-filled team experience!! The whole team wasn’t able to make it, but the Chapman basketball team enjoyed the time!!

@473IrishAD Happy to report no injuries occurred! Maybe some hurt ribs from too much laughter…

@CHS_IrishHoops Everyone’s achilles tendon in tact? 🤣

Grateful. Inspired. Impacted. Thank you to all the incredible men who showed up and poured into our players last night at our 1st Annual Men of Impact Night. You showed them what strength, support, and presence really look like. We’ll remember it forever. #MenOfImpact #Gratitude
