Today we’d like to introduce you to Madison Griggs.
Hi Madison, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am Madison Griggs and I am a basketball player from Memphis Tennessee. I played basketball at the University of Memphis for five years from 2019 to 2024. Ive broken many records and scored over 1000 points there. Ive had many great coaches, teammates and fans now since being out of college, I am a professional basketball player, a mentor coach, a trainer, And a world traveler. I love doing what I do, especially being a trainer and mentor, but I have to love basketball the most because that has been my vehicle to get me to everything else.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely has not been a smooth road, but it has been a very fulfilling one. I’ve learned many things while playing basketball, being a mentor, being a leader, a businesswoman, etc. It has taught me to never give up on what I want or never give up on my message. It has taught me to always keep going and striving to be the best. I can be no matter how the physical world may look I travel to many places I meet many great people and I see the most beautiful parts of the world so yes, there are daily struggles of Staying motivated to keep going, but the other side is so much more brighter that I barely pay attention to any of the struggles along the way. Even though it’s not as as easy or comfortable, it is so much more rewarding.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about 96th & Madison?
96th & Madison is a brand that I created. It originated from my college basketball career at the University of Memphis. In my freshman year of college,I made 96 three in one year and I just put my name behind it and called it “96th & Madison”. Now, I hold the all-time leading three-point record at the University of Memphis, men’s and women. I wanted a platform for myself where I could help myself and help others be great at whatever they want to be great at so 96 today is a clothing brand and a training & mentorship program to help student athletes, young athletes, or people who want to level up their lifestyle. The mission of 96th & Madison is to build great habits, wear comfortable and stylish clothing, and be the greatest that we can possibly be. 96th and Madison is more than just a brand. It is a lifestyle.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
The 96 mentorship program is an online program for anyone who wants to become more consistent and discipline in their daily lives, build great habits, and build confidence to be who you truly are.
