In this inspiring episode of The We Are All Awesome Show powered by WiddyUP, hosts Carter and Coach Randy sit down with David DaSilva, a Cal Lutheran senior whose story embodies determination, discipline, and the power of mentorship. From shooting basketballs behind his head at six years old to leading the nation in 3-point percentage in high school, David’s journey is one of relentless self-improvement. He opens up about the lessons he learned through adversity, how Kobe Bryant’s mindset shaped his work ethic during COVID, and how academic rigor at Notre Dame High School prepared him for success beyond the court.
Now balancing college, coaching, tutoring, and multiple jobs, David shares how giving back through programs like SoCal Hoops and Motor Monsters has helped him develop leadership, empathy, and purpose. This episode is a must-listen for students, parents, and anyone striving to find balance between ambition and impact.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- Hard work compounds: David’s transformation from a benchwarmer to a national shooting leader shows what daily consistency can achieve.
- Seek opportunity, not excuses: From scholarships to creative ways of funding college, David proves that financial limits don’t have to block your dreams.
- Pay it forward: Coaching the next generation reminds us that true success is measured by how much we help others rise.
