We don’t pick favorites but this was an episode that will rank high, especially for those in the coaching world. Ben Guest takes time to hang out with us today and shares his unusual journey into coaching basketball. He also tells us about his best-selling book titled “Zen and the Art of Coaching Basketball: Memoir of a Namibian Odyssey”.
Ben Guest never played organized basketball growing up. He found his way into the coaching world where he won championships at the high school and professional level overseas. Ben and Zach both dive deep into their coaching experiences and philosophies. Ben shares great stories about his early struggles as a young coach, building a program, the importance of a coaching staff, adjustments in his coaching at higher levels, WILD experiences overseas, Scott Williams, Michael Jordan, 90’s Knicks, jitsu, meditation, and MUCH more!
We had an incredible time with Ben and can’t thank him enough for his time. His journey into the game of basketball is very unique and inspiring, and we shared MANY laughs throughout the whole episode. Trust us when we say that you do NOT want to miss this one!
Thanks Ben Guest!
