I was Tyler Haw's Bishop, Stake President and Friend. I know first hand of his hard work and unyielding dedication. He is honest and upright and as great a basketball player that he undeniably is, he is a better Priesthood Man!

[@wynnrichards]

I just found this wonderful video today and while reading the comments, yours jumped out at me. We do not know one another; however, I believe you are someone I should know!! Your comments were amazing and I feel a great example how we can not only lift one another up, but be happy to see others do it! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment . According to the post, it was made 3 years ago and I find the sentiment is still relevant today

[@blairadamson8254]

That's incredible

[@stuartedge]

I remember writing down the quote, "'If you work as hard as you can, good things will happen."on my mirror in college. I worked hard and I can testify that good things have happened in my life. My career now is a result of writing that quote on my mirror.

[@snowknowsinc]

My name is Dallas and I am 6 years old. I want to be just like Tyler. You are a great basketball player. I think your the bestest one I know. I hope I can serve a mission and still play basketball. I want to play for BYU or UVA. They can both really use me one day. Thank you Tyler

[@hunternabs7159]

I Believein you dude. I too share the same goal. My names Hunter.

[@dmtriromellibria5883]

[@dmtriromellibria5883]

This is also a story of a great dad.

[@MishkaHughes]

My brother is on a mission in Anaheim, California right now and while I miss him, I know he's where he needs to be! It has been such a blessing to my family to see him grow so much spiritually. By the way, I love how wherever you go church buildings look the same! It gives me a taste of home whenever I'm away.

[@TheDavidLaws]

I love how he shows the value of diligent practice. We have endless potential. THAT is worth being excited for.

[@natewatson9]

I never was an athlete, but as a musician I felt much the same about my talent, hard work, and going on my own mission to Brazil. Thanks, Ty for being an example of faith and dedication to young people today.

I just attended the open house of the new MTC here in the Philippines, and Elder Haws is the one who shared a testimony after this video clip was played to us. He's a very good example of sacrifice and obedience.

[@SisMiya]

Elder Haws is serving in the best mission in the world- Philippines Quezon City Mission. His trainer was my last zone leader. Small world.

[@me984036]

i drive on the road by the MTC almost every day to go to dance practice. it always makes me smile to see the young men, dressed in their Sunday best, walking from the temple to the MTC. i'm so grateful to be a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints! :)

I felt that my heart is melted ♥️ 👍🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍😇😇😇😇😇😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😀😀😀

[@jesussahurda8803]

You don't know how you inspired us. Thank you for serving in our Zone Taguig Zone Philippines. You leave a legacy for us for your good example. Thank you so much.

[@ChicKevin23]

He's serving on our ward right now. :D We watched this video on our MYC. He's very nice. He's a very great example to all the youth. It's awesome that he chose to go on a mission. I consider him my role model. :) I'm going on a mission too!

[@JordanToscano]

Tyler thank u r a really good example for me especially because i play bball to i am only 10 yrs old mormon of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints

[@anaalcustom300]

Tyler haw is one of the rare guy on this earth

[@gary-denisemoser800]

Tyler Haws rocks!!!!!! 😀

[@amybrackettsmith8134]

I agree

[@v.--5411]

I decided to go to the church and practice like Tyler did and I ended up becoming the Most Improved player of my team after we won state.

[@Melandboys1]

My boys used to LOVE watching Tyler play at Lone Peak when we lived in Highland. We LOVED this video! What a guy! As the mother of 5 boys I am so grateful for great role models like Tyler!

[@jeremytorres661]

He is an inspiration to everybody.

[@RosendoCuyasen]

Great to see Bro Hawk serve his mission in the Philippines. Mabuhay! Thanks for sharing this video. Hard work makes you a man.

[@ericreodava4087]

This videos makes me cry

[@gracestaker1890]

He realized where all of his talent came from......Way to give it back to the Lord!

[@JSchro17]

I hope my future sons grow up to just like Tyler.

[@kenncalli12]

he was assign here in the Philippines and he is very great and very hardworking..God bless people like him who become a great missionary...

[@jmatking09]

i know he's doing awesome over there. i was in the Manila mission (borders Quezon City mission) and I know he's loving it. ----- Elder Haws, Balik ka rito sa atin ng may mas malakas na hangarin na sumunod ng mga kautusan ng Diyos. Babasbasan ka. Manatiling ka masipag. Very inspiring story. Ingat kaibigan

[@jetamenna]

I am a Mia-Maid in my ward. I am VERY passionate about Ballroom Dancing, and I want to go to BYU for my dancing. I know the day will come when I will skip the dancing, and go on a Mission. And I have decided to go on a mission when I was a kid, watching my older brothers and sisters go on a mission.

[@1jasan1]

I love it! Work hard Tyler, then come home and tear it up on the court.

[@dmillward45]

i can't wait to see Tyler come back in two years.

[@matthewdbrousseau]

Thank you for being such a wonderful example. Having two boys who love BYU basketball so much, who loved watching you play last year. It means a lot that you recognized where your gifts, talents and work ethic come from. Way to give back! Can't wait to see you play in a year and a half.

[@lorijacobson9474]

Oh this young man is so easy to love and admire!!!!

[@awhibaby2012]

WOW , my heart is filled with the spirit !!! truly amazing and inspiring thank you so much ! great!!!

[@joypat9004]

[@aldaesca]

Gracias, Elder. Atte. Hno. Alex Espinoza Cárdenas

[@davidmendenhall9732]

Tyler Haws such a boss!

[@JordanToscano]

thank u so much Tyler for the video i play basketball in utah to so you are a great example to me as a kid

[@christopherwest4866]

Dude I never even knew this video even existed, but this Sunday, I was scrolling through the content and I saw this and I'm like, "LETS GO!!" I am a HUGE BYU fan, and Tyler Haws is such an inspiration, and man, this spiritual journey is so empowering. As I start my journey at BYU, this powerful message will definitely lift me up and help me through those trials. Thanks bro.

[@32BYU]

Great video. Anyone that's observed Tyler knows his whole being screams dedication. I'm sure he's a great elder and I can't wait to see him back at BYU.

[@Josh333976]

Such a great story, I as well am so passionate about basketball and that choice is really a good example for me if I get into college.. Thanks Elder Haws:)

[@Lorenshyne]

[@bryanmiley590]

byu is awesome

[@danamarchant4234]

SUU is better

[@jumpmanyang3117]

Love this inspiring video

[@KeilynDano]

This video reminds me of David Archuleta who is doing the same thing, leaving music to serve on a full time mission :')

[@jwturley1]

I love it!

[@kimbrian5664]

Wow. I never thought I would also see Brother Bolambao at the end of this video.

[@TheAwkwardCows]

Awesome video! I love how this video is about hard work and where it can lead you!

[@TysonSnow]

Great video. I can't wait to see number 49.

[@jackhkim2765]

Awesome video!!

[@SandwichInOverdrive]

Haha, I wonder what basketball would be like on P-Day for the other missionaries!

[@oceanlieb9828]

My dad went to the Philippines on his mission

[@jhaygurl07]

great video! it really inspired me a lot to do the God's work better.

[@sxmeonn]

Now im like, oh, that was TJ haws from byu in here? Now that tyler graduated

[@kellenemmy]

4:52-4:57 like it!

[@Theallpowerfulruler]

And he gets back this December. :)

[@ClutchGolf42]

I wonder how it felt to be Tyler just going on a mission and leave BYU and basketball and his own family just to go on a mission.

[@austinlarson5248]

Now he's back in his senior year and one of the best BYU players ever and one of the best in the country. I bet he is happy

[@ryanthain1]

Brigham Stone I agree with you. It would really suck but he has wanted to do that ever since he was little. But want to hear what is so swag! He is back and he is going to be in for the NBA DRAFT! So I think that he is going to be one of the best basketball players in the league of the NBA. That is a big statement but, "Hard Work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard!"

[@checkm8179]

When he was a missionary, our dog bites him haha

[@thartorpia]

he is still in the mission field?

[@williamnuckolls2232]

Just once I want to see a video where someone chooses not to go on a mission, and it's okay, and they can still be seen as a good example.

[@briangadd9824]

BYU is just too good for college basketball!!!

[@mahonriaraojo]

nice

[@carlyparnell799]

Like if you are lds!

[@MatthewHavertz]

@bboyvietstylez Hey that's a great question! I'm a Mormon, and we do call ourselves Christians as well. It's a common misconception, and many people don't understand that we believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of all mankind. We also believe in the Bible (like the Old Testament and New Testament) as our Bible, we just have more scripture like the Book of Mormon. When you get a chance you should go to Mormon.org and check out some of our other beliefs.

[@b0xster5oo]

Why dose he want to be a basketball player

[@poseselaiti2606]

because its his dream

[@bballbryson2015]

Leslie Hall Because basketball is awesome!🏀
