   Nimari Burnett on Winning the Big Ten & Building a Championship Mindset

   How does a high school top pick and champion college basketball player build and protect an elite mindset? In Season 6 Episode 12 (EP. 134) of the What Dewey Do? Podcast, Nimari Burnett, current starting shooting guard for the University of Michigan men's basketball team, opens up about his journey and the hard-earned lessons from his dynamic career — from navigating the grind of college hoops to capturing a Big Ten championship, and embracing what he calls the “new era of NIL.” We break down the culture shift under new head coach Dusty May, the shared championship mindset, and the standard every player must commit to in order to win at the highest level in the Big Ten Conference. If you want an up-close, unfiltered look at the real college basketball landscape straight from both player and coach perspectives, this episode pulls back the curtain and reveals the truth behind the jersey of a Big Ten Champion. Don’t miss this powerful episode and discover how athletes like Nimari balance academics, pressure, performance, and personal growth while chasing greatness on and off the court. Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "It takes a very humble player or a very team-oriented player because there are only five guys that can be out there at the end of the game, whether the game's on the line or not.” - Nimari Burnett: "The biggest component of basketball is when you take a step back and have a coach's perspective, and also an unselfish mindset.” - Nimari Burnett: "You are capable of doing what you set out to do, honestly, even more than that." Nimari Burnett is the current starting shooting guard for the Michigan Wolverines of the Big Ten Conference. He previously played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Alabama Crimson Tide. He is also currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan. Nimari takes pride in serving his community and building relationships that can become impactful and meaningful in any chosen field. He brings the same resilience, discipline, and focus he’s developed on the court into his professional and academic pursuits. His journey has shaped him into a leader who thrives under pressure, values teamwork, and approaches challenges with creativity and confidence.

[…] You know, you have really good college coaches and programs that scout you really well. And you have to be committed and locked in each and every game. And it's a long season. You have injuries, you have illnesses, different, you know, trials and tribulations that happen throughout the course of the season that can kind of derail certain teams. I think that's the special aspect of this team. We continue to stay together no matter what. And we enjoy every single game. We take it very, very seriously. Yeah, and Coach May kind of mentioned that in the old days, winning the Big Ten regular season was a feat. […]
