I just finished recording a podcast episode with the 135th guest that I've had the privilege to interview on Sports Business Secrets. As I was adding the name to the "Guest List," I took a moment to pinch myself. What an absolutely EPIC group of decision makers and power shakers in the sports business industry. The amount of wisdom shared by these guests in their respective roles is invaluable! Not to mention, it's all FREE GAME! My goal today is to share some episodes that you should listen to if you are an aspiring professional basketball player. Of course, once I started making this list, I realized I could include just about every single guest episode... So I will filter it down even further. These episodes include guests that specifically talk about the path to becoming a pro, including topics like: the characteristics found in highly rated prospects the pros & cons of going down the prep school pathway where to find an agent and important topics to discuss before signing the differences between leagues and salaries abroad what it was like to play in new countries for the first time what to do when battling injuries and other challenges abroad transitioning from basketball career to "the real world"
