If you put your effort in concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my book, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals and chiefness.

I talked about faith, passion, obviously to drive with the guys that I've been around,

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

So that which gets praised gets with Peter.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC Basketball.

T.J. Roseen here with the Hardwood Hustle.

We are here in Orlando at the Junior NBA World Championship, where Shot Tracker has lit up the gym.

We've got analytics all over the place.

I've got a special guest to me with me today, which we've had before.

Ryan Hoover has a really interesting story.

Really humble, laid back guy, but a heck of a player, great shooter.

And also heading up analytics with Shot Tracker and he's helping coaches to understand it.

We're going to talk a lot about his journey, who he is, and the things that have educated, empower, and encouraged him. And then we'll talk a little bit of analytics. So, Ryan, first of all, great to have you back. Thanks, T.J. Good to be back with you. I feel like every time I see you look a little bit younger, actually. How do you do that? I got a one and a half year old. Yes. Fair enough.

And, uh... You look a little bit younger, actually. How do you do that? I got a one and a half year old.

Yes. Fair enough. And the occasional nap, not as much as when I was in Europe. Europe's bigger on naps. The U.S. is not as big on it. Is that one of the better habits you picked up from Europe? It was. I try to bring that back, but it hasn't been going over too well. Well, listen, here's what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about, I want to serve our back, but it hasn't been going over too well. Well, listen, here's what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about, I want to serve our coaches with what's educated you, what's encouraged you, what's empowered you.

For instance, like an app, something as specific as that is something that's helped you learn a good habit in your life.

But before I do, because the audience probably know, a lot of the audience knows you, but some of them will not have heard you before.
