Has anyone else seen this before? Interesting hearing about his anxiety and great to see how he's trying to help others.
Eh, I had it pre all that stuff too. Some people are more genetically prone to it as well.I blame social media and cell phones for the rampant, debilitating anxiety kids have these days. My niece, deans list at GW, has asked 8
people to review and comment on her “personal statement” for her law school applications. Eight!!’
Or he suffered from the same anxiety / was never the same. Some guys don’t do well with a boeheim type of coach. A kid with undiagnosed anxiety? That sounds like a hellacious situation.He transferred to Creighton and was a benchwarmer, sounds like he is blaming the coach. Really nice kid, just not an elite player like he was ranked A big recruiting miss as we probably passed on a better player.
Yup. You can be demanding and expect greatness but some guys need a different style.Wow. Seems relevant to a player on the current team.
That's not what he's saying. He let the criticism and fear of failure go from an ant hill into a mountain because he didn't know how to handle it.He transferred to Creighton and was a benchwarmer, sounds like he is blaming the coach. Really nice kid, just not a elite player like he was ranked A big recruiting miss as we probably passed on a better player.
Understand what he was saying. My point was he was not a good D1 basketball player regardless. He had a poor handle and marginal finisher/ shooter despite his anxiety.That's not what he's saying. He let the criticism and fear of failure go from an ant hill into a mountain because he didn't know how to handle it.
McDermott is easy going pat on the back coach, super friendly and nice I know him well. Same result with Kaleb.Yup. You can be demanding and expect greatness but some guys need a different style.
It didn't sound to me like he was blaming the coach at all.He transferred to Creighton and was a benchwarmer, sounds like he is blaming the coach. Really nice kid, just not a elite player like he was ranked A big recruiting miss as we probably passed on a better player.
As a resident of Baldwinsville, Amen to that.Eh, I had it pre all that stuff too. Some people are more genetically prone to it as well.
At least folks are more willing to get help these days. I wish I had when I was in HS. Would have been a different experience. Didn’t even realize the panic attacks I was having at the time until later in left.
Medicine and therapy has done wonders. More men need to be willing to admit they need help.
Great kid will well in lifeNow I'm even more glad that I gave him some words of encouragement after a game at Creighton. He's a very nice kid
I watched the Joseph recruiting tapes - he was the real deal. And someone I didn’t expect to miss as badly as he did.He transferred to Creighton and was a benchwarmer, sounds like he is blaming the coach. Really nice kid, just not an elite player like he was ranked A big recruiting miss as we probably passed on a better player.
