COACH'S QUOTE – "Mark is in the gym day in and day out
relentlessly working his craft. Mark is a competitor; he will work
tirelessly to be successful. The game is just a reflection of his
willingness to invest his time in his skill sets. You can't cheat the
grind, it knows how much you have invested and will not give you
anything you have not worked for."
— Steven Gentry, Basketball Coach
