UI’s Trevon Allen: “Working in silence”

Trevon Allen, 2020 University of Idaho graduate, arrived in Poland just over a week ago to play for his first professional basketball team. Since then, Allen’s been thinking about the life philosophy he coined for himself, “work in silence.” Living that mantra is a spiritual experience for Allen, hard to describe over a chatroom.

“Working in silence means having a humble attitude, it means you get out what you put into it,” Allen said. “For me, it’s believing in God, because I think a lot of success comes from him.”

Allen, who played as a guard, came up with this motto at the end of his freshman year at UI, although he’d been practicing it since high school.
