You might have not made it as far as guys like Steph but what you did was way cooler. You are a living moral for never give up. Love the channel.
Thanks I appreciate that more than you know!!! Ima keep it going for sure. Time to inspire the next generation.
Respect bro! Keep being a positive role model
Would absolutely love to hear more in depth details on your story. How the process of reaching out and the type of responses the coaches gave you. The process of walking on the team and what the coaches had you do, and ultimately why you left. Great story!
Ur an inspiration bro🙏🏾🔥
Hey I understand you. I got cut my last three years of HS, but overall it made me better as a player/individual. For me in HS it wasn’t about my skill or game that got me cut, it was more of the coach political view. After HS like 5+ years later, I reconnected with basketball and started playing it and now I’m just an amazing all around player to the point where I can hold my ground/compete with D1 basketball players and play Semi-Pro. HS is just an illusion.
great story!!!!
dis vid jus gave me sum hope bro appreciate yu gang
Really good kid I watched him grow up. Go Dragons.
Your story is inspiring bro thank you
thank you!
This was so inspiring. My son has been in this same situation to the effect his spirit has been broken. However he still has the desire to hopefully be successful as a walk on.
Update?
that a great story man keep grinding!
Thank You!
TO ALL THE KIDS OUT THERE PLAYING BASKETBALL LISTEN TO THIS. Basketball is great and can teach you a lot of lessons and open a lot of doors. HOWEVER, use basketball to get to where you want to go. Don't let basketball use you!
Underrated ass video this is some great motivation bro
Thanks, I really appreciate that.
Chiilz facts
Dude , I’m on TH-cam rn , I’m literally in your situation rn ... tall and skilled as ever ... yeah my game needs a lot of work and I’m willing my situation has me so confused but I’m still working hard at it man ... I appreciate the video dude
Keep grinding
howd it turn out bro?
currently in the sam situation. It was hard to get the coachs attention as an asian kid in high school
Thank you!!!🙏
Needed this I appreciate this and you sharing your story and am going to make it happen too for myself its always been a dream and I know I'm capable of it I have a few questions if you ever get the chance.
Awesome video man I’m gonna try out for a D2 college next year wish me luck I currently have a basketball trainer, very inspirational
Good luck man where u from and how tall are you
@@isaacbell3120 I’m 5’9 and a half and I’m from Philly but I’m getting training every week I have a lot of time and my shootings getting better
@@mrnosimp7341 cool bc I want to play college ball I'm rly athletic but still do for a growth spirt I'm 15 about 5 8 and a half and only weigh 100 pounds but I should be around 6 foot. How hard is it to make it to d2?
@@isaacbell3120 I didn’t try yet
@@isaacbell3120 hopefully I make 6 feet
When u you reached out to the schools how did u send the message through your essay? And who did u send it to the assistant coach?
Gods Plan🙏🏼
When u contacted college coaches did u include film? And did u play AAU in the summers that you got cut in HS?
Also where did u transfer to
Same here bro I tried out many times for my high school times but I got cut 3 times 3 years in a row and My coach said to me that I had a lot of good skills but at that point, this was a few years ago in 2017/2018 2016 but my coach said at that time I was close to making it but I was cut! then I was pretty disappointed after a few weeks and months passed I never gave up and kept working on my craft and after 7 long hard intense years of basketball, I have put myself in a great opportunity to make the college team since Covid 19 helped give me extra time to train and make my goals come true in life! The past 3 years of me playing ball every summer for the last 2 years has greatly made me reach the next level I enjoyed your speech thanks homie for this wonderful life experience! u shared! this year my college sports, in general, got cancelled including basketball 2020 fall season and 2021 winter season which is good news since I can train more for half the year at most since I live in Toronto, Canada!
If you don’t mind me asking how tall are you?
Did you play any AAU basketball
I have a workout with a D2 college what should I expect?
You never know what to expect. Every coach is different and every system is different. All you could do is work hard, be conditioned, and make sure you are as prepared as you can be. There will definitely be conditioning, ball-handling- and shooting.
What would you say when you hit all those colleges up? Im in a similar predicament & I always thought it was futile hitting d1 coaches with no film
You just gotta sell yourself and show to them that you are the worth the opportunity. I asked for a workout to get my chance to be on the team and told them who I was and what I thought I could bring to the table. When trying to walk on to a division 1 school first and foremost you gotta be a leader
How did you email different colleges to find somewhere to play. I’m looking to do the same
You have to go to their websites and find the staff and there number and email should be under their names.
Thank you. I never played varsity basketball due to me not being good enough but I did run varsity track. I have to walk on at a d1 because it’s close to home. I’m 6’4 with a 6’9 wingspan but I’m skinny. I really hope I can get a chance and get on the team
Keep grinding. Anything is possible if you put the time in.
Team DreamCatcher Family would going to open gym help the coach notice me? Also if I’m better than some scholarship players would that better my chances?
@@delan_lan Honestly, probably not. Coaches aren't usually allowed to watch open gym unless its something that they are hosting. You have to just show your face as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you think you better than the scholarship players, you got to prove that to the coach. You gotta be willing to put in that and live in the lab.
Team DreamCatcher Family so when I arrive on campus where could I find the assistant coaches or managers to let them know I exist and want to be apart of their program
I was playing since 7th grade, started taking in serious in grade 10, Didn’t try out in grade 9, Grade 10 I got cut, Grade 11 got cut, Grade twelve got cut, I’m returning for a final year for college credits. I’m finally gonna get my chance next year. My dream school is Louisville but idc what level I’m on. If any college wants to take me I’ll do it. I know I can play on the next level. I’ve just never used my opportunities well.
Are you trying to Play Pro?
Golden Warrior yeah.
@@colbyfroude2941 I suggest You go to a JUCO First.
Golden Warrior I live in Canada so we don’t have them but I’m gonna go to a community college which is basically the same as Juco here. Then if I play well I’m gonna try to get to a higher college level but if not they have graduate programs so you can technically enroll in up to 5 year programs so I could improve there.
@@colbyfroude2941 What's Your Height?
What’s your name? Trying to look up your stats
can you help me i wana play pro but i couldn't play in high schoolo
After this pandemic ima try out for the middle school team tbh im pretty cold bc i take like 250 shots a day
250 shots aint enough honestly to play on the next level
@@teamdreamcatcherbasketball3045 how many do you recommend at least
Bro I got cut freshman soph and junior didn’t even care to try out senior and Ik and the team knows I’m good enough of not better but never given the opportunity. I now attend Iowa state for engineering but I still wanna do b-ball but idk like Iowa state really big d1 Idk if transferring is worth risking education
You're going to have to transfer to a Smaller School. But your chances of Playing are Very Low
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 yo u negative asf wtf ur problem u ain’t get in football? basketball?
Who should you email at the schools and what should you say?
The coaches and you just gotta know how to sell your self and truthful to yourself if you think you can play on that level.
Can you hit me up personally I would love some advice please!! Great vid💯
yes how do you want me to contact you?
How can I get in contact with you? I have questions

@@teamdreamcatcherbasketball3045 Are those like Schools with Great Basketball Teams or Powerhouses?
what did you even tell coaches when you contacted them man. crazy story
anybody know his name
knows who name?
@@teamdreamcatcherbasketball3045 yours
How the Hell did you get cut 4 times and still played D1? No Coach is going to take a Guy who wasn't good enough to make a Varsity Team
Worked hard
@@delan_lan Nah, You need way more than that
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 if you’re good enough you’ll make it. Yes there are other factors that come in to play but highschool doesn’t determine anything
@@delan_lan No College Team is going to want a Guy who wasn't good enough to make his HS Team
@@delan_lan True, But Most of the time it does
