About this episode

Welcome back to Redeeming the Game. Today, we’re beginning a brand-new series called:When the Game Isn’t Enough. Over the next few weeks, I’m sitting down with some incredible friends of mine who have experienced basketball at very different levels. We’re going to talk about the game. We’re going to talk about success. We’re going to talk about identity. But most importantly, we’re going to ask a deeper question:What happens when basketball isn’t enough to tell you who you are? Today’s guest has a unique perspective. He is one of the most prolific basketball trainers I know. He has spent years developing players, helping athletes improve their skills, build confidence, and pursue their potential. But what I love most about his journey isn’t simply what he does for players on the court. It’s how he sees them off the court. Because the best trainers don’t just see the athlete in front of them. They see the person. And that’s where I want to begin today. Are we simply building better basketball players… or are we helping develop better people? I could go back and talk to my younger self as a coach, these are the 10 things I’d tell him first. I put them all into a free guide called “10 Things I Wish I Knew as a Young Coach.” No fluff. No playbooks. Just real lessons from years of coaching, leading, winning, losing, and learning. If you’re early in your coaching journey, or you want to coach with more purpose and clarity, grab it for free below. 👇 Free download linked below 👇 www.redeemingthegame.com/10thingsmatt@redeemingthegame.comhttps://subsplash.com/u/-9XZ3X7/give?frequency=once&next_process_date=08/11/2025&fund_id=58054b9c-b5ff-4d59-bc26-24ad56c3193e
