Cool. Spring AAU season's here. Kevin, tell the people, how you feeling about Rise as One, the Basketball Factory plans, expectations. I know that leans a little bit into the topic we're going to talk about. Introduce the audience to who you are and what has you excited for the spring? What I think just to piggyback on what you said about the spring obviously we do a year round program. Like most programs that come back in the spring. We go year round. Also, we've been prepping for this the whole year knowing that actually, Kev, before even getting into that, why don't you just introduce yourself first? I'm trippin Introduce yourself. Who are you for the people who are just listening out of the blue? Yeah, for the new people that don't know me at all, Kevin Houston played 10 years of professional basketball. The original one absolutely played at university of Miami. Even further than that, played at Seward County community college, transferred into the university of Miami, then transferred again to St. Bonaventure. Brooklyn kid went to John Jay high school in Brooklyn. Same, but a whole bunch of more famous guys than me that went to John Jay high school. I've come from a a great high school. Great basketball background with a lot of my family members playing ball. Yeah, that's me in a nutshell I could sit here there and bless you all my awards But you know that would take a long time I want to just say people to trouble I was a great, you know I was a great player that I was a fortunate to be on great teams with great teammates. So Yeah, that's I think That's pretty much who I am. All right. Now I'll get into it. Spring AAU, you're the director of RISE as one AAU club. Introduce RISE, talk about the Basketball Factory and let's get into it. Yeah. AAU wise, like we've been going year round, so we, I have a program that we do AAU, but it's not your typical AAU, whether you meet once a year or twice a year, you I have kids that play, you go around from, fall to right now to, to the spring, summer winter. This is our Superbowl, we lead up, we try to prepare ourself as much as possible leading into the spring season and we don't have that much turnover. Although this year was an unusual year with. having a ton of kids. I don't know where these kids came from but I'm glad that the program is growing to give you an indication piece of how many kids that came this spring or our AU program on a typical year on the probably let's go by my best year, but my best year my best year was, Back when I had two courts and the most I've ever had was 74. So this year coming into this year I was expecting just to retain the kids that has always came to my program, but then we had an explosion, especially middle school of 97 middle schoolers, not your typical 74. So I think from that standpoint shows me we're on the right path of doing things because I'm pretty sure these kids wouldn't have came unless, and I don't do that much advertising. Okay. You don't mean I'm not a social media guy. I'm not on social media a lot. I send out, email campaigns to just my parents. So to have that many kids is really impressive, but I'm really happy because I feel like the kids that have been in my program the longest, I think they are getting new teammates that, you've seen it. They're more talented. They're more talented kids that are in the program and I'm excited to have them there and I'm excited to coach them and develop them over the next couple of years. Definitely worth congratulating. Just seeing progression. Not only have I been a player, but not only helping you coach and train these kids, it's always nice to see your standard as for local basketball in the area to just exceed your expectations. But really just leaning into expectations. We wanted to hop on this podcast and talk about player expectations. Before we even dive into player expectations, do you have any expectations out of the spring leading into the summer, any goals, things you're looking forward to? I have goals. I have expectations like anything. Just, I had a parent's meeting last week and we talked about a lot of this stuff. Last week, and I think especially for me being in that area, because being in different areas, you should have different expectations, right? If you're in an area that is producing year after year, division one players, I can't have that same expectations on my kids that these other areas have on theirs because we frankly are not a basketball area. We've become a basketball area. Because the atmosphere we've created at Rises 1 but we're not necessarily per se, everyone thinks of, okay, Northern Jersey has as a hotbed for basketball, but I think we've created something. And so my, my, my expectations, especially with the kids with the coaches, with anything is let's have a standard, let's stand for something. And what that is, If you come to our program, you're going to work hard. You know that you're going to ...
