Are you a shorter basketball player trying to stand out?
This episode is for you. Former Boise State standout and pro guard Montigo Alford (aka Tigo) shares exactly how shorter guards can dominate, impact winning, and build long-term success—on and off the court.
📌 What You’ll Learn:
Can shorter basketball players still earn D1 offers and pro contracts? → Yes. Montigo breaks down the exact mindset, training, and roles shorter guards must embrace.
What does "impacting winning" really mean? → It’s not about dropping 30 points—it’s about defense, leadership, and embracing your role.
Is lifting weights during the season a good idea? → Absolutely. Montigo even hits the leg press right before games.
Why is social media so important for athletes today? → Because your first and last name is your brand. Coaches want to see what you’re about.
💬 Top Quotes from Montigo Alford:
“Your first and last name is your brand—treat it like one.”
“At 5'9, they counted me out. I used the weight room, the film room, and my mentality to prove them wrong.”
“Discipline and consistency—that's what basketball gave me.”
“It’s not about being the guy, it’s about impacting winning.”
