Is It Too Late to Start Basketball? Emily Wilson Proves It’s Not

Can you become elite if you start late? Emily Wilson picked up basketball in the 6th grade—years behind her competition. Today, she’s a state champion, varsity freshman, and 17U AAU standout chasing a college basketball future.

In this episode, Coach Que breaks down the mindset, daily habits, and mental toughness that helped Emily close the gap on players who had a head start. This is a playbook for any athlete—or parent—who’s ever felt behind, overlooked, or doubted.

• Why starting late in sports can be a competitive advantage

• How Emily used mindset and consistency to catch up—and pass her peers

• What separates athletes who make teams vs. athletes who impact teams

• The DAWG formula: Dedication, Attitude, Work Ethic, Grit

If your athlete lacks confidence or feels “behind,” this episode will show why mindset—not early exposure—is what determines long-term success.

This is proof that you don’t need a head start—you need the right mentality.
