The Mission.
The mission for Tyson is to leave the game of basketball better than he found it. To contribute something positive to it. He often expresses his gratitude to the game for the doors and relationships it has opened him up to, and he feels it is only right to pay it forward for the next generation of hoopers. His journey has been far from normal, or easy. Tyson embraces his process and hopes to inspire others to do the same for themselves through the actions he takes on his marathon to the ultimate finish line. Tyson remains true to the work and the journey. Grounded in the belief that with faith, work & perseverance, all things are possible.
For Tyson, being able to help and give back is something that he holds as a top priority. He is committed to the elevation of the communities that built him & inspired him throughout his journey. They say the highest human act is to inspire, and for Tyson, that is something that fuels him to continue to improve, not only himself but to uplift the places and people he comes into contact with along his journey.
