Every basketball player dreams of hitting the game-winner.
For me, that dream became something I had the opportunity to live out on the floor at UNC Wilmington.
During my time as a Seahawk, students and members of the Wilmington community began calling me "Shytime." The name became associated with those moments when the game tightened, the pressure increased, and every possession mattered.
But what people see in the final seconds is only the result.
They don't always see the hours before it.
- The repetitions.
- The missed shots.
- The corrections.
- The footwork.
- The discipline.
- The preparation.
- The confidence built one workout at a time.
That is what Shytime came to represent.
Being clutch is not simply about making one difficult shot. It is about preparing yourself so thoroughly that when your moment comes, you are ready for it.
That philosophy became the foundation of Shytime Training.
I started Shytime Training to give back to the game—and to the Wilmington community—that gave so much to me.
Whether an athlete is learning the fundamentals for the first time, competing for a varsity position, preparing for college basketball, or simply trying to become the best player they can be, the mission remains the same:
Because basketball development is about far more than what happens when the lights come on.
It is about who you become during the work nobody sees.
Teach the game.
Build confidence.
Develop discipline.
Prepare for the moment.
