The Offseason..

Although Meek and Ketia are on their game w/ their foundations, I'm beginning to use this time for bigger endeavors.. For me, right now is about power moves and planning.. Less task management and more business development.. There are so many things that need to be developed if you're trying to stay ahead of the game.. My focus for this offseason is not as much about my players, but the future of the game.. Because, I feel that we've tried every "traditional" method to get noticed, but that isn't working.. That hasn't brought anyone any closer to the players.. At least not in a huge way.. The loyal supporters are seeing more, but the overall general public still have no idea..

I'm not going to point fingers or anything like that.. At the beginning of the night, we have to work with what we have.. I'm now focusing on working in a larger network.. A larger sphere of influence.. It's not much that I can speak on, but it is something that has given me a bit of hope.. I'm truly learning and leaning on people that have some sort of inside connection to the game.. And in a crazy way, they are leaning on me just as much as I am leaning on them.. If you could only see the BBMs and text messages that I receive from major players in the game.. That's not bragging, that's just speaking the reality.. I feel their excitement when we have conference calls.. I get excited after the calls and my ability to keep moving forward w/ my head held high.. I'm nowhere close to being there or done, though.. Nowhere..

i am motivated, though.. For me, I'm thinking global.. I'm not thinking nationally.. The women's basketball market is so much bigger than the US.. Most of you already know that.. But, the opportunities are there.. That's a big part of what I'm working on.. Some things will be for the US, but so much more will be for the global community.. I have to continue to make a way for these women to make real money and real opportunities.. And for those of you that feel that they shouldn't be chasing money, then I would look you in the eye and ask what Snoop cypher you just came out of.. Look, these women have proven their love for the game.. They shed their blood and tears.. Forget the sweat.. That's a given.. They've given their all just to get to the WNBA.. So, yes, I am focused on finding and creating more financial opportunities for them.. So, if they are done after 6 seasons, then maybe they can tour the world putting on clinics.. Maybe they can tour the world on a quest for women empowerment.. Maybe they can tour the world providing fashion to other women who are not 5'1".. Who knows? What I do know is that I'm not going to stop.. What I do know is that I'm committed.. Even when it may not appear to be that way.. Cool? Cool..
