“Every pain has a purpose.” This is something that former pro basketball player, CEO of Pro Level Training, and National Director of Nike Sports Camps, Joel Green has learned. He experienced the loss of his brother and the difficulty of divorce. Through those moments of darkness, he developed a process he calls filtering, which he talks about in the book, Filtering: The Way to Extract Strength from the Struggle. In this episode, Joel talks about his experiences, lessons, and vision for helping youth and changing the trajectory of their lives. He grew up in Philadelphia where he was often told what he wasn’t “supposed to” do and he shattered that limiting way of thinking. His story will give you strength in your own struggle. He encourages us to stay curious because there is always something new to learn.
