Jason Siggers - "Staying True to Yourself"


Listen Later

Jason, the reigning six man of the year in Israel's top division, was born and raised in Dallas, Tx., attended Skyline High School and then played 2 years in Hobbs, New Mexico at New Mexico Junior College. After that he attended the University at Albany for my last 2 years of amateur basketball where we won 2 conference championships and 2 NCAA tournament births and earned a degree in Information Science. From Jason has played all over the world as a professional, in Denmark, Switzerland, France, Dominican Republic, Israel and South Korea. He's prided myself on my adaptability, consistency and perseverance.

It's been a pleasure watching the development of Jason as a player over the last few season playing in Israel and his winning the sixth man of the year award this past season is a testemant of the hard work and dedication he's been putting in. Whoever has seen Jason's unique style of play will notice that he gets a lot of his points from mid range jumpers, which in today's game a lot of coaches may frown upon. But Jason has been able to be very efficient and very succeful using a skill that a lot of players and coaches shy away from, and is a great example of a player who has focused and honed his strengths and has not let anyone outside of himself define who he's going to be a on the court.

In our conversation we delved into:

  • Staying true to yourself as a player and not letting outside influences define your game

  • How we can still find value even when things aren't going our way

  • Honing our strengths rather than focusing on our weaknesses

  • Training specifically and effectively in creative ways without being dependant on anything external to make it happen

  • Taking care of our body for career longevity

  • Our identity beyond athletes on the court

And much, much more!!

Enjoy!
