Failure is no option. It never has been and it never will be for freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino. Well, it literally can’t be because it’s a part of his last name.

F.I.N.O. is an acronym or mindset that Hood-Schifino puts into everything he does.

“F.I.N.O. is not just the last four letters of my last name but it’s an acronym that my mom created that defines our family’s mindset; it is a mindset that embodies PERSEVERANCE, DISCIPLINE and DEDICATION. F.I.N.O.= Failure.Is.No.Option..! It doesn’t mean the absence of setbacks. It means that you will never give up and a perceived loss is not the worst outcome.
