What can we learn from these elite performers doing battle on the World stage? In this episode I share my observations from watching the Semi-finals and Final of the World Cup and how young basketball players might take note. I've been talking about winning and losing lately on social media and with my teams. I hope that this episode can give some more perspective on my thoughts around this topic and provide some help to young athletes with aspirations of playing professionally someday. Enjoy

In this episode I respond to a young player that I had a conversation with who is struggling with enjoying basketball. This is something a lot of young players struggle with these days and so I talk about some of these issues and try to provide a way forwards that could be helpful. Enjoy

In this episode I share some insight into the trip I am currently taking in Italy and how important it is for young players to experience basketball in different places and at different levels. Broaden your horizons and learn more about basketball, so that you can be inspired, motivated and educated on how you might reach higher levels. Other topics include learnings from the Euroleague game that I watched last night, and some thoughts about winning and performance. I hope this is helpful for any young basketball player or coach listening. 

In this episode, I give a brief introduction to who I am, my history and my reason for starting the podcast. I then talk about some conversations that I've had in recent weeks with young players who have aspirations to play basketball professionally and offer two pieces of advice to any players listening that have that same goal. I hope you enjoy! Find me on social media:Insta: @certified.basketball.coachTiktok: Robnewson84or email: [email protected]
