Growing up, there was one word I never let cross my lips: “can’t.” That mindset shaped who I am and how I approach life.
With my business manager, Justin Holland, I started the Don’t Follow the Wave Foundation to give student-athletes the same confidence and opportunities that pushed me. We want young people to see that their future in sports can go far beyond the court or field, and that with the right guidance, they can chase their passions and still build lasting careers.
For me, it’s more than sports. It’s about giving back and pouring into the next generation because I see myself in those kids. My Georgia roots keep me grounded, and everywhere I go, I carry that with me.
At the heart of it all, I believe in the power of self-belief. Keep the main thing the main thing, trust yourself, work hard, and stay true. That’s how you win. Believe that.
