For episode 29, I chill with Coach Rob Newson. Rob has coached basketball all over the world, but somehow ended up in Vietnam teaching hoops, learning Vietnamese, and helping young players believe in themselves.
In this episode, we talk basketball, taking chances, and what happens when you leave your comfort zone and say "why not?" Rob shares his journey to Vietnam, his philosophy on coaching, how to inspire confidence in athletes, and why fear is usually the thing holding people back from reaching their potential.
Of course, we go down plenty of NBA rabbit holes too. We talk Jalen Brunson's rise to superstardom, Victor Wembanyama being a real life video game character, Dirk Nowitzki's impact on basketball, whether the Luka trade was rigged, and the million-dollar question: will there ever be a 100% Vietnamese player in the NBA?
This episode is part basketball talk, part life advice, part Vietnam adventure story, and as usual, a whole lot of fun and laughs in between.
