#10 - Dawson Garcia

Dawson Garcia hopped on the show to discuss how the pandemic ended his senior year of high school prematurely. Missing prom, not being able to play in the McDonald’s All-American game, and how he’s staying in shape for the upcoming season at Marquette. What it was like receiving his first scholarship and what it was like winning a Gold Medal for USA and being the MVP of the tournament. The recruiting process, why he chose Marquette over the Gophers. What an official visit looks like for a recruit. How Nick Carroll (Prep Hoops), and D1 (Al Harris Coach) AAU put him on the map. Playing in top 100 camps. Talking with current NBA players about advice on how to maneuver in the correct ways, so he can make it to the NBA as well. How he handles the pressure of being under a microscope at all times, and how he can’t do things normal kids can do. Dawson’s passionate rivalry with Shakopee. How a game of duck duck grey duck made his parents know he was going to be a fierce competitor. Must listen!
