What if the game is doing more than just developing players?
In this episode of Redeeming the Game, I sit down with two of my former players to reflect on their journey—from who they were when I first met them to who they are becoming today.
We talk about when basketball became more than just competition, the challenges and growth they experienced along the way, and how God used the game to shape their identity, discipline, and faith.
This is an honest conversation about transformation how the game can expose, refine, and ultimately point us toward something deeper.
For coaches, trainers, and players alike, this episode is a reminder: Basketball is a tool.
And in the right hands, it can be used for far more than performance.

If 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.

The lies we believed about coaching.

Today’s episode is a little different.
I’m sitting down with two guys who not only train at a high level…
but have also been completely transformed in how they see coaching, identity, and the game itself.

And today we’re talking about this:
What’s the lie we believed about coaching… and what happens when that gets exposed?
The game was never meant to define you.
And the moment that lie starts to break…
everything about how you coach begins to change.

This is what it looks like to start redeeming the game.
