"You have to have a plan, but the plan has to be very adaptable. You have to have an intention or a ‘why’ behind everything you're doing; and you have to be willing to adjust it, learn, and add new things. Be searching for new ways to get better if you want to reach that high level...who you are now is not the person that will be playing college basketball in two years, three years, four years. It has to be a leveled up version because of the amount of time that's going by. Everybody else will be leveling up. I think the idea and the advice is: “Have a plan. Be constantly analyzing, learning, and adding new things to the plan but just be intentional with everything. You're never gonna reach your destination if you don't at least try to make a map or try to mark a path. You're not going to make the perfect path the first time to your destination, but you've got to pick a destination and imagine a way to get there. As you're going down that imagined way, and that way that you thought was correct, be ready to adapt and be versatile.”"
— Trey on pieces of advice he would give to young athletes who want to play basketball at the collegiate and professional level.

Jacki Gemelos
Sports Agent & Vice President of Talent Representation | Disrupt the Game
"I think I would say, “Meet as many people as you can in the industry. Network, have conversations, expose yourself in different places, build yourself up, and build yourself into a respected person in the profession. Be able to say (and) show that you’ve done your homework, you've done your research. I think learning about everybody's stories and how they got to where they're at is really crucial.” For me, I've tried to learn about all the agents in the industry and pay very close attention to what they do and how they move—that's helped me develop who I want to be and the style of agent that I want to be."

AC Fitzpatrick
College Volleyball Player, University of Florida
"I’d say: “Work hard, give great energy, and give great effort. Skills are something that you can develop over time, but effort and hard work is just not something that you can teach. It is something that is within yourself.” You know, you can't make somebody care. So I think finding that motivation within yourself is awesome, and with that, results will come by the work that you put in."

Kierra “Meme” Wheeler
College Basketball Player, Norfolk State University
"I’d say, “Bet on yourself.” That doesn't mean you are so much into yourself that you are not (willing to) learn. (For instance), not every school needs an offensive scorer. Sometimes they need a rebounder, they need a shooter, they need a defender. You want to be able to be versatile. Somebody can’t get rid of you if you know how to do everything and if you are bought in on everything. You want to get to a school that's going to align with your goals and your dreams."
