“My experiences as an athlete and coach have taught me that true champions are not defined by their results. They are driven by their desire to master the process. Therefore it’s not simply the skills that make the champion, it’s their undeniable mindset, uncommon habits, and consistency. Principles that can be applied in all facets of life. This has become the acme of my story and something I look forward to unpacking with fellow Max-OUT athletes and coaches.” – Marke Freeman, Owner Max-OUT Basketball
