027 | Raising Multi-Sport Athletes & The Reality of Developing a Competitive Edge (My Parents’ Perspective - Part 2)
In Part 2 of “My Parents’ Perspective,” we go deeper into the early years of my basketball journey—the moments my parents realised I might actually go pro, to the intentional choices (and struggles) that came with raising multi-sport athletes.
This episode gives you a heartwarming behind-the-scenes look at a parent’s world: the chaotic schedules and the decisions they made to support—not force—my sporting path. We talk about developing a competitive edge, nurturing confidence and the emotional challenge of watching your kid waver in their self-belief.
If you’re a parent trying to raise a confident, well-rounded athlete—or an athlete wanting to understand your parents better—this conversation is going to land deep. It’s honest, reflective, and full of insights that shaped the player and person I am today.
