Motto: I can accept failure, but I can't ever accept not trying.

I've always believed that if you put in the work the results will come, I don't do things half-heartedly because I know if I do then I can expect half-hearted results. I've never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot...when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result. Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness. If I can see it then, I can do it, if I just believe it, there's nothing to it.

What's your current training regimen like?
Well, right now I have been working every single day since January. I made my High School schedule so that I would only have classes for the first half of the year. So I have been lifting at the gym after I work 12 hours Monday through Thursday. I don't have any time to play basketball, but I do have time to go to the gym from 8-10 which is close. I have a strict diet and exercise routine. I lift for mass, strength, speed and definition. Some of you might be wondering why I work so much, up to 15 hours in a day. Some of you might think I am crazy, but ever since I became obsessed, fascinated, and fixated on the sport of basketball I have always wanted to be a 7-foot forward in the NBA. What I am planning to do will take about 3-4 years. I am working and saving every penny I make to go towards surgery. I will recover and just train for an entire year all hardcore training every single day until I can get my body as it was before the surgeries if that is even possible. I am being more realistic now and I will expect the best, but know also know in my mind that I might not ever be the same person again after the surgeries and my NBA dreams will be shattered and so will my life, but I want this so bad I have shown and proven I am willing to do ANYTHING I can possibly do to reach it and obtain it.
What point are you at in your career right now?
I'm still in beginner status of course I am no professional, but I inted to get A LOT better, just like anyone should. My basketball team and I went to the county center and nearly to the states. We were ranked #3 in NY State and we only lost one game by one point that the refs gave to the other team.
What are your plans for the future?
If someone right now offered me a job in the NBA how I am right now I don't know if I would take it because the other half of my dream did not come true and if I do I wouldn't be 100% happy and live in regret for the rest of my life. For many years I had tried just about everything to make me grow. Anything you can think of and for long periods of time. One thing I did could have possibly torn my meniscus in my knees which is the cartilage. This has been bothering me for a few years now and I finally went to the doctor for it and now I will be getting my knees operated on July 6th. I might not ever acheive my goal, but you can guarantee I will work my ass off trying. Besides all of the things I have to battle, I am not athletically gifted with speed and jumping and I also have a serious knee and foot injury. I will write more about this some other time. I already stated my plans, it's basically the NBA of course and all of the things that come with it.
