In this episode, we sit down with longtime friend Jamie Parlor to talk about how Nations of Coaches is helping transform the game of basketball by reconnecting it to its original purpose. Inspired by Dr. James Naismith's vision "to win men for the Master through the gym," Nations of Coaches equips over 3,500 each year to help players make the connection between character and sport. Jamie shares how this mission plays out in real life - from mentoring athletes and guiding coaches, to using tools like PLACE to help leaders discover their unique design and purpose. It's a conversation about faith, leadership, and how true success goes far beyond the scoreboard.
