Episode 22: Jessie Weis (Mother of Top 100 Basketball Prospect, Gabe Weis)


- Jessie Weis is the mother of a Top 100, 4-star basketball prospect (Gabe Weis) from a small town in Kentucky


- Weis walks us through the natural progression of Gabe's development and the opportunities that came as a result of his hard work. 


- Parents don't have to PUSH doors open for their children when it comes to youth sports. Let your child's hard work and ability open those doors. 


- What it's like being the big fish in a small pond. High school sports are not always enough for high end athletes. Sometimes they need more. 


- Weis details her son's (and family's) choice to attend a prep school, Montverde Academy for this junior and senior years of high school.


-The decision was met with scrutiny and judgement, but Gabe was willing to sacrifice the "normal high school experience" for the chance to play and practice with better players every day. 


- Weis shares some details of the recruiting process for a Top 100 rated recruit. 


- Every family's situation is different. You have to do what's best for YOU.
