Speaker 1 (00:04):
We're live, live.
Welcome to Out of the Mouth ofBabes, the podcast for our youth
.
Today I have a special youngman in the booth.
I have known this young mansince he was a baby.
I had the pleasure of seeinghim at his first basketball camp
(00:29):
.
But enough said, I'm going tolet him introduce himself.
Introduce yourself to thelisteners out there.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know what's going on.
It's Mason Carpenter.
I'm from Richmond, indiana.
I grew up playing basketball.
I grew up loving the game and Iplayed all playing basketball.
I grew up loving the game, youknow, and I played all the
sports, but, you know,basketball just stood out to me
the most, so I just stuck withit.
You know, in middle school Iplayed football too and it was
(00:59):
kind of hard picking which one Iwanted to go with, but I
thought basketball was the bestdecision for me.
That's where I am now.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I can tell you that Mason was a phenomenal football
player.
I still wish that I could haveseen him flourish into a
tailback for the Richmond RedDevils.
But, mason, I got a couplequestions for you as a
basketball player.
What is your favorite aspect ofthe game and why?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I think just being able to meet new people and
seeing how I develop is the bestpart about it.
I think meeting new people justbecause it can take you a long
way and it's just people that,can you know.
(01:54):
When I stop dribbling thebasketball, they can help you
out as well.
So you know that's the bestpart about it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Now, mason you and your family have traveled the
United States for basketball.
You have, I mean, I could justname a few that I know of
Minnesota, california, naturally, indianapolis.
Indianapolis should be yoursecond home, different parts of
Ohio.
Tell me about one of thosetrips that was very memorable
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That was very memorable for you.
I think Florida was the besttime to be out there.
I went out there to go see afamily member that just moved
out there recently and justbeing out there and seeing a
couple of universities likeUniversity of Florida and South
(02:43):
Florida and a couple others, andit just it just raised the
standards for me and raised somegoals and it just being able to
see it was a good, was a goodlook for me and it definitely
raised my confidence just to beable to work a little bit harder
.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now, how do you approach the mental aspect of
the game, especially duringhigh-powered situations?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, I think just mentally I grew Mentally.
I got stronger as I got olderand as I got more mature.
I think that after I watched acouple so like athletes, like
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan,you know, just hearing stories
about them over and over againwhile on the phone or watching
(03:30):
TV, it just helped my mentalitya little bit more getting older
and I just try to work on it andthat's the main part about the
game that will take you a longway is your mentality.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now, before I forget who's your who's, who, would you
say, is the fate?
Your arm is the, the greatestbasketball player of all time.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, pressure drumroll please gotta
go with Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Michael Jordan.
Okay, Michael Jordan, okay,Michael Jordan.
I would agree with you.
And then the next question iswho do you patent your
basketball skills after?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
As of right now.
I think that my game I model mygame after Darius Garland off
the Cavaliers.
A popular player I wanted toget my game after is Allen
Iverson or Stephen Curry.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah you are.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Because I'm a point guard.
So, as a point guard, allenIverson had the handles I wanted
to shoot, like Curry, of course, and the overall game I
probably wanted is StephonMarbury.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Steph.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know I watched a documentary on him and I just
loved the way he plays and howexcited he looked and that's how
I just wanted to play.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And he was doing some great things over in China.
You mentioned Darius Garland.
Darius Garland is the son ofwho?
Do you know that?
Nah, all right I want you to dosome research Winston Garland,
one of the greatest basketballplayers that came through Gary
Indiana, and so do some researchon him and then let's further
(05:22):
this discussion.
So you spend a lot of time withthe youth, right?
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
sir.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You spend a lot of time.
I mean, I've seen you inoccasions where the youth, when
they see you, they just followyou and say you know, after your
games they want autographs.
What advice would you give toaspiring basketball players who
want to play high schoolbasketball and I also want to
make sure you pub your littlebrother as well.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay, you know, before I started playing high
school basketball, I just alwaysthought about how much I got to
do, how much work I got to putin to be the best.
And you know, just being nomatter how much work I put in, I
always wanted to be the best.
(06:12):
So the youth just got to go out, work as hard as you can, just
keep thinking about your goals.
And just when we was talkingabout mentality that's the part
of it you just got to mentallythink that you're going to be
the best.
And you know just little thingslike going in the basement and
(06:34):
working on your ball handling,laying on your back, shooting
the ball 100 to 500 times a day,and that's just simple things.
You don't need a goal of mylittle brother.
You know I'm hard on himbecause I just want him to be
the best.
He can be as well and I wanthim to have the opportunities
that I never had.
And you know I take him up totest intermediate school and I
(06:59):
take him and I'm hard on him.
I want him to shoot the ballfive more times if I told him to
shoot ten times.
I want him to if I tell him todo ten push-ups for missing a
layup.
I want him to do five moreafter he's done.
You know, just little thingslike that will push you to the
max, and you know it helped.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Definitely helped.
Grind grind mode.
I just got a text from your dadthat said all he said was grind
.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Talk to me a little bit about grind, and how does he
instill that in you?
Well, grinding means like youjust got to blood, sweat and
tears.
That's the definition of it.
You know you got to do whateverit takes.
(07:58):
That I got is, you know I never.
I never got, I never, justnaturally got minutes and was
the best around, humbly, and youknow.
You know I just I just had agrind for it.
You know, if you, if you, ifyou know you can do the, you can
be better and you can getbetter, then you just got to
work at it because I had to aswell when I was younger.
So to the youth, you know, justknow your goal and do what you
(08:21):
can do, the best you can do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Game night.
You're getting ready for a game.
What are some of your pregamerituals and what do you do to
get ready for a game?
What are some of your pregamerituals?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
and what do you do to get ready for a game?
Of course you got to get therest before the game, because
you don't never want to be tiredbefore a game, and you got to
stretch.
You don't never want to betight before the game and make
sure your muscles are loosebefore the game.
You want to drink the rightthings before the game and make
sure your muscles are loosebefore the game.
You want to drink the rightthings.
You want to drink like a bananasmoothie or, you know, you want
(08:57):
a banana with peanut butter init.
You know anything to get yourenergy levels up.
You don't ever want to eat nocandy, no sugary things, because
that will get your musclestight as well.
So you want to drink a lot ofwater.
You want to drink some Powerade.
That's the best thing andthat's it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's it right there .
So what you've talked about ishealth, nutrition.
Let's talk about mental health.
How do you stay humble, how doyou make sure you're taking care
of yourself mentally throughoutthis journey?
Because what you guys areexperiencing, it's a cruel world
out there with social media andpeople have comments on, let's
(09:41):
say, you guys lose a game and alot of people hiding behind the
curtains will have things to sayabout you.
What do you do for your ownmental health?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, after a game, especially after a loss, you
know, I just think to myselfwhat could I have done better
for the team and for myself?
I think that mentally, mentalhealth is just you got a, you
got a thing.
(10:13):
You just sit there and thinkabout what the the pros of what
you did more than the negatives.
You want to think more positivethan negative and because when
you think about the negativethings it kind of kind of downs
you even more than what you are.
So when you think more positivethen it's just going to help
you quicker and then help youmentally so that you can just
(10:34):
move on.
Because you know, when you justthink about the negative things
, that can just carry you on forthe next couple of days.
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So I know you to be a student athlete.
Talk to us a little bit.
What is your GPA?
4.1.
4.1.
That means that throughout yourentire time in school you have
basically made straight A's.
Is that correct?
Yes, sir.
And that means that not only areyou a student athlete, but
you're a student first.
Is that correct?
Yes, sir, now you alsomentioned you talked a little
(11:08):
bit about teamwork and makingsure that you are there for your
team, making sure that you arethere for your team.
Can you talk to me a little bitabout the importance of
teamwork and how you make surethat you guys are working
together as a team?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Well, it starts off the court more than on the court
, I think off the court.
We're always together.
You always see us together.
We're always positive aroundeach other.
We always build each other upso that when we get on the court
it's not a down nobody's mind,that we're just going to stay
together no matter what thecircumstance is.
(11:47):
And you know the squad, youknow, as a leader, you got to
just make sure that we staytogether and yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):

You got a bunch of kids.
