This is "Game Behind the Game," a podcast designed to shed light on the individuals that have impacted the basketball culture of the greater LA area. These players, coaches, & trainers have had their own unique impact on the growth of the LA Hoop scene; but not the opportunity to share their wisdom and experiences on a greater platform.
The goal is to inspire the next generation to do the things that inspire them the most and create a platform that will impact others by building lasting relationships in the basketball community. To show the youth how to navigate the same issues that may have held back previous eras. To build the work ethic and leadership needed to advance their basketball careers. And most importantly, to motivate and stimulate the personal development of players inside and outside of their athletic identity.
