In this episode, Boston Celtics guard Derrick White joins us to share his basketball journey from a multi-sport young athlete in Colorado to the NBA and the Olympics. Derrick shares how he has had to overcome the doubters at every level, not being recruiting by any D1 college coaches and never expecting to play professionally. Nevertheless, Derrick loved basketball and continued to work, receiving a partial scholarship to a D2 college, before transferring to D1 Colorado as a senior. Derrick shares great insights from his journey, even talking about the NBA coach who challenged him to quit being so hard on himself, which has been key to his emergence as an NBA star. Derrick also shares about his experience being added to the Olympic team, including what he learned on and off the court spending time with NBA legends LeBron, Step, and KD.
