Episode 61: Seth Davis


Listen Later

Seth Davis is a veteran sports journalist and broadcaster, and The New York Times best-selling author of Wooden: A Coach's Life and When March Went Mad: The Game That Transformed Basketball. He is the co-author of the just-published memoir It's Hard for Me to Live with Me, written with NBA veteran and University of Kentucky basketball legend Rex Chapman—a book that transcends (and upends!) the sports memoir genre and stands as a devasting and inspiring story about the human struggle for self-acceptance.

Over the course of his career, Seth has written for The Athletic and Sports Illustrated and served as a college basketball studio analyst and reporter at CBS Sports.

"You have to make the phone ring," he says, echoing a piece of advice once shared with him by his one-time SI colleague and longtime friend and mentor Rick Reilly, of his efforts to grow his game from magazine and broadcast journalism and jump-start his career as an author and collaborator.

Join us as we celebrate "March Madness" with one of our leading sportswriters who is fast becoming a sought-after ghostwriter, calling on the hard-won experience he's developed in thousands of locker room and post-game interviews to help his subjects reflect on the games we play and the reasons we play them.
