This episode is about my personal experience with career transitions.   I coached college basketball for 13 years, 7 at the University of Kentucky and 6 at the University of South Florida.  Also coached 1 year professionally in Japan.

My daughter was a Division I basketball player and she was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when she was in high school.   She signed a scholarship to Liberty University and while there as a freshman her depression and anxiety got worse, and she was at her lowest point. 

I had to make the most difficult decision I ever made in my life in 2014 to hang up my coaching hat after a 14-year successful career.  Sometimes in life we have to make sacrifices for the people we love in order to give them opportunities in life.

After leaving my college basketball coaching career I had to decide, "what's next".   It took some time trying different career fields to find my next career passion that would fulfill my need to coach people and help them accomplish their goals.
