Buddy Boeheim currently plays for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. He went to college at Syracuse University.
Buddy opened up about what it was like having a famous basketball coach as a father and how opponents treated him in games. While he had all the resources available, nobody was going to let him off easy - most people played their hardest against him so they could brag they shut down a Boeheim.
It finally clicked for him when he was at a point in his youth career where he had to decide if he was going to fight for success or let it go because the challenge was too much. Buddy shares what it was like in that moment and how he fought to earn his playing minutes and make it to the NBA.

S2 EP3 | Nash Jensen on Almost Quitting Division 1 Football and How He Challenged Himself to Succeed
Nash Jensen currently plays for North Dakota State University, a FBS Division 1 football program that has a storied history of national championships.
Nash talks about how he had to quit basketball in high school to focus on football and how that changed his trajectory. While he received FCS offers, the recruitment approach of NDSU gave him the confidence he could succeed there.
After his father's passing, he found himself not trying in practice, no focus, and no motivation. Thanks to his supportive friends and teammates around him, he woke up and realized the opportunity that was in front of him and he got back on the horse. He's now on the brink of having an opportunity to play in the NFL thanks to falling back in love with football.

Today's episode is an interview with Kiondre Thomas who has recently been signed by the Cleveland Browns after finishing his football career at Kansas State (and the University of Minnesota before that).

Kiondre talked about how he didn't have a lot of role models from Arkansas to look at as an example of what sports could do for him so he talks about how he relied on himself for blazing a pathway forward. Kiondre also talks about how he was a high-level 3-sport athlete and how that helped him be successful as a football player.
