In this episode, Eric shares his journey from growing up in a sports-obsessed household, to enrolling at BYU and making the WCC all-freshman team. To placing his career on pause to embark on a two-year Latter-Day Saints mission to Rome, Italy, to returning to make the all-conference team in his first season back as a sophomore. Eric entered his name in the NBA draft after that season and received heavy backlash for his decision. He joins the show to share his response to life challenges, allowing for resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth to power him through. bigeonetwo
