Hello Awesome Humans! In the podcast studio today we have Chris Anstey, a former Australian professional basketball player who played in the NBL, NBA as well as competing at the 2000 Sydney and 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Chris talks about growing up playing tennis in Footscray, and the excitement of beating his Dad for the first time. We also discuss the physical and mental issues that come with being taller than the average person, and how something a lot of people see as a positive, can still have very negative impacts especially on teens.

We talk about the pressures faced when trialling in front of NBA selectors, representing Australia at the Olympic Games and the extreme pride watching his daughter achieve the same success. Tune in today to listen to today’s tallest Awesome Human, Chris Anstey!
