Built on Discipline, Elite Training & Building ProSpire | Mason McKnatt

Mason McKnatt, founder of ProSpire, joins Kensley Tolliver and Olivia Blankenship to share how growing up in a disciplined, athletic family in Franklin, Tennessee, shaped his competitive mindset and work ethic. After leading the state in scoring during high school, Mason played college basketball at Trevecca Nazarene University and Maryville College before two hip surgeries brought his playing career to an end. What initially felt like the loss of basketball and his identity became the foundation for a new purpose: building ProSpire, an elite basketball training company working with NBA players and NIL athletes, including Keon Johnson, Kobe Brown and Jack Gohlke. Today, Mason is connected to athletes whose combined NIL and professional contracts total nearly $100 million. Mason opens up about the conversation with his mother in a Las Vegas hotel room that inspired ProSpire, letting go of his ego, relying on faith through injury and identity loss, and what success looks like when you work hard and stay focused. For Mason, basketball is more than a career, it is a platform to serve athletes and share his love for God.CONNECT WITH MASON McKNATT + PROSPIREMason McKnattIG: /30masonProSpire BasketballWebsite: prospirebasketball.comIG: /prospirebballWHERE ELSE TO LISTENYouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | iHeartRadioFOLLOW EX.CLUSIVELY: BEYOND THE GAMEWebsite: exclusivelybeyondthegame.comIG: /exclusivelybeyondthegameTikTok: /exclusivelybeyondthegameMEET THE HOSTSKensley TolliverIG: /kensleypaydentolliverOlivia BlankenshipIG: /_livblankenshipSUPPORT THE NOVEMBER SATURDAYS FOUNDATIONCreating opportunities for belonging, mentorship and achievement through sports, education and community.Website: thenovembersaturdaysfoundation.orgIG: /thenovembersaturdaysfoundation
