In this episode, I speak with former Harlem Globetrotter, UNC Asheville Hall of Fame basketball player, and current ESPN college basketball analyst, John Williams, for an amazing and wide-ranging conversation. John opens up about a reflective, career-altering moment that deepened his walk with Christ and reshaped his life’s purpose beyond the court.
We dive into his standout college career — including a conference championship run, his participation in the 2011 NCAA Slam Dunk Contest, and the lessons he learned along the way. John also shares incredible stories from his time as a Harlem Globetrotter, giving us an inside look at life on the road and playing the game with a global spotlight.
But his journey didn't stop there. We explore his impactful coaching career at Asheville Christian Academy, where he led the girls’ basketball team to multiple state championships, including a remarkable run with just six players.
We also tackle hot topics like NIL (Name, Image & Likeness), the evolving recruitment landscape, and what young athletes (and parents) need to know about recruitment in general.
This is a must-listen for athletes, coaches, parents, and anyone looking for motivation on and off the court. Let's Go!
 
Check out the amazing things that are happening at John's training facility, The Hoop Lab, Hoop Lab - Home.
