Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is…
Ahhh… I always loved that Jay-Z lyric.
As a basketball junkie and a long time hip-hop fan, I have tremendous admiration and respect for Jay-Z. After years and years of relentless work, he is a master at his craft, he is a pioneer in his industry, and he never gets complacent. He is a true innovator.
I aspire to be the same.
Like J-Hova, I want to constantly push the envelope and work hard to be innovative. I want to remain on the cutting edge of everything I do.
That’s why this blog has been MIA for a few months. I was back at the drawing board revamping, retooling, and refocusing.
This is my new blog – the Hardwood Hustle.
Expect concise, more frequent posts. The Hardwood Hustle will be a steady stream of killer content. My next post will feature a variety of 1-on-1 games you can play this off-season to take your game to the next level.
Be ready.
But I didn’t stop with just revamping the blog. I decided to give my entire online presence a makeover!
My www.StrongerTeam.com site has a brand new look!
I have upgraded my online shop and added a killer new product (Stronger Team Training System).
I have added a ton of FREE resources (articles, workouts, music downloads & basketball ‘nuggets’).
And after years of deliberation, I have finally started a podcast (also named the Hardwood Hustle).
I feel like I have been born again. After 14 years, I am as passionate about my work as I have ever been.
I learned a while ago to never let anyone define success for you. Success is something you need to define for yourself.
I define my own success by being able to confidently answer ‘yes’ to these 3 questions:
- Am I truly happy?
- Am I constantly growing, evolving and improving?
- Am I making a meaningful contribution to the world?
I hope you find the new www.StrongerTeam.com a success by those measures.
Please share the new site with every player and coach you can.
The movement has already begun.
Train hard. Fuel smart. Get better.

PS: I’ve recently partnered with ViewSPORT and created a line of customized Stronger Team themed shirts using their revolutionary sweat activated technology. When you sweat, a phrase magically appears on the back! Players are going crazy over these things.
