The "More Than Just A Recruiter" Interview Series: Season 2, Ep. 1: Radford University Assistant Coach Shane Nichols  To kick off Season Two, I sat down with Radford University Assistant Coach, Shane Nichols. We discussed his transition from playing at a high level to his passion for player development and beyond. He shared his perspective from his journey in the industry to how important family is to him, making it a "no-brainer" to join his brother at Radford. The story of the discovery of Ja Morant is often told, but the development isn't discussed nearly as much. Coach Nichols played a huge role in the growth and maturation of the 2019-20 NBA Rookie of The Year.   It was great to be able to have this conversation with Coach Nichols and I'm looking forward to continuing to watch him shine and help others along his journey.    #FreeGame #GoFURTHER 🎈🏁  *Like, Share & Subscribe*The foundational pillars for The Brantley Method are Inspiration, Motivation and Education; the mission is to utilize stories as a vehicle to provide those pillars to the world in unique ways.
