Jimmer Fredette invites BYU–Hawaii students to make the Savior ‘your Plan A’

Professional basketball player Jimmer Fredette’s “Plan A” — or main focus, priority and goal in life — since he was a little kid was to play basketball in the NBA. It wasn’t until he actually made it to the NBA that he learned he needed to adjust his priorities, he told BYU–Hawaii students during a campus devotional on Tuesday, Nov. 10. “Refocusing my mind and heart has been an incredibly rewarding way to live. It did not make my life easy or without challenges and trials, but it changed my perspective when facing them, knowing that my Savior always has a better plan in His sights for me,” Fredette recounted. Fredette rose to what he called “mini celebrity” in 2011 as he helped lead Brigham Young University to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 30 years. That same year, he became the leading scorer in the nation and won National Player of the Year honors.
