About this listen
In this powerful episode of Ten Talk, Coach BJo welcomes the Big Dreams Basketball family — Cruz "Ace" Valeriano, his son Cruz “Tre” Valeriano, and young prodigy Champ — for an authentic conversation on turning passion into purpose, and how training athletes is also training for life.
From 5 AM workouts to building a nine-week academy that sells out every summer, the Valerianos share:
- How Big Dreams Academy was built from the ground up
- Why "guarding your yard" matters on the court and in life
- The role of fatherhood in player development
- How Tre's matchup against Tyler Herro shaped his early mindset
- Why cultural respect and referee accountability are critical in youth sports
Whether you’re a coach, parent, or player, this episode delivers real gems on preparation, legacy, and leadership.
🔑 Mission Reminder: Ten Talk exists to align athletics with life — building conversations around growth, grit, and game-time decisions.
🎧 Tap in, take notes, and share it forward — because the Valerianos don’t just train. They walk the walk.
