15 | Amanda Paschal on Change, Work Ethic, and Using Basketball as an Escape.
Description
Amanda Paschal is a professional basketball player currently representing Wyndham Basketball Association in BigV's Championship Women's Division. Averaging close to a triple double, AP is leading the way in the MVP race this season. Originally from Brooklyn, NY and growing up in Chipley, Florida, AP found herself staring down the barrel of a lifetime of doing nothing but getting up to no good. It was then where the lightbulb went off, and her and her close knit group of friends committed to holding each other accountable and using basketball as a means of escaping all the negativity that Chipley would inevitably bring.
Today, we look at how AP ended up getting out of Chipley, her college career where she spent 2 years in JuCo followed by 2 years at Kentucky, one of the powerhouses of collegiate basketball, before ending up at Wyndham at the start of 2022. We discuss how AP has shifted her approach to basketball and leadership over the years, and how her mindset has changed and allowed her to consistently perform at her best.
A brilliant discussion for those looking to make basketball a career, break into the US College system or even looking to tweak their mindset, AP gives plenty of insight into how she is able to consistently perform at a high level and how mastering the mental game has proven to be the key to her success.
