Anytime we ask former guests about the best high school basketball players they played against in the early 90’s, there is always one name that is mentioned immediately. Jerod Ward is that name and we are beyond blessed to have him on the podcast today. The message is clear in this one. Never Be Average and “Eat Adversity.”
Ward was the number one recruit in the nation and went on to win the Naismith Player of the Year in 1994. He was a McDonald’s All-American, First Team Parade, Slam Magazine, USA Today, and Basketball Times All-American. He went on to Michigan where he was a member of Fab Five II and battled a series of obstacles including continuous injuries, the pressure of living up to expectations, and depression. After career-threatening injuries he still managed to carve out an incredible pro career overseas that included stints with multiple NBA teams. The journey will WOW you with all of the adversity he had to overcome and we know this conversation will inspire our listeners.
Our time with Ward was incredible. His words absolutely hit home and this was truly one of the most inspiring conversations we have had on this show. We can see why our former guests speak so highly of him and why so many people across the world love learning from his motivational speaking. You don’t want to miss this one!
