We are back for season 2 of the Player to Coach Pod!!! 

This was a great way to get back in the swing of things and we hope you enjoy this episode of talking about our time off which consisted of buying houses, vacation, birthdays, and Chicago Pro Ams. We answered some of your questions and got real about regrets in playing career.

Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Josh and Jordan talk about the NBA Summer League, Jordans recruiting trip, and a new and untitled segment of the show...

Jordan talks a little bit about his recruiting trip to Vegas and getting to watch some summer league games live for the first time.

We may or may not have an active summer league source's opinion on the importance of summer league games and how much these games matter to play well in. Talk about the possibility of lottery players sitting out of summer league. 

Our new segment of our show is better just experienced in the moment rather than in a written description so... enjoy that when you get there...

Josh and Jordan are joined by the BEST Women's basketball player in Bushnell history, Morgan McKinney. Morgan has a very different story than most and we got to dive into that on the pod. A few of the things we discussed was;

-Growing up a hockey player

-Playing for 3 different HS head coaches in her 4 years at Lake Oswego

-Her recruiting journey and ending up at Bushnell

-College coaching change

-Losing her Grandmother before her record breaking Junior year

-And much more....

We hope you enjoy this great conversation with Morgan McKinney

SITUATIONS ARE SITUATIONAL - Fair warning this phase is used a lot in this pod...

Josh and Jordan dive into the conversation of practice, sorry AI, we really in here talking about practice...

We unpack strategy of how you can structure your practice, preparing for opponents, competing in practice, teaching your team how to be smarter players in practice, and a very entertaining look into what it's like getting kicked out of practice!

Enjoy!

Josh and Jordan discuss the NBA Finals now that the season is over. We are setting a standard of holding each other accountable to our picks! So often national media talking heads get away with never hearing or talking about their WRONG predictions...   

Topics we discuss: 

-Is Steph top 10 all time? 

-Is Jason Tatum not a dog? 

-What went wrong for the Celtics?

 -What did the Warriors do so well? 

-Andrew Wiggins a bust? Or Nah?  

If you enjoy the pod and if you like what you heard don't be shy and like and follow the channel :)

But if you don't like what you heard, definitely don't like and subscribe...

The P2C pod is joined by NCU legend, Michael Loomis. We talk about the importance of being taught how to play the game rather than just skill development, battling through multiple major injuries, becoming a more balanced player, and doing your homework on which college program you go to.  

Dude averaged 22 Pts 10 Reb on 49% FG 40% 3pt 88% FT...

WE BEAT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF EPISODES PER PODCAST!!!

In this weeks episode, Josh and Jordan dive into the importance of the weight room as a basketball player.  

-Pro's and cons of being in the weight room 

-The balance of your efforts on the weight room vs on the court workouts 

-How you should be working out as a basketball player 

-Pre-season conditioning expectations at the college level

Josh and Jordan lay out their predictions for the NBA Finals and share their many basketball beefs. We got beefs as players, coaches, and fans. We have a deep love for the game of basketball, but as you know there is a fine line between love and hate.

Head Coach of Bushnell University Eddie Alexander comes on the P2C pod to talk about his journey to becoming a collegiate head coach, creating a top 5 basketball AAU program on the west coast and what it's like to be on the coaching staff of a team that his son (Jordan) played on.  

Lots of great stuff in here about coaching, how to separate your coaching relationship with your kid vs the parenting relationship with your kid, along with what he looks for when recruiting for his program.

Join the P2C pod as Josh and Jordan as we talk about our experiences with referee's as players and coaches. We've been T'd up, we've been ref's and we've done everything in our power as players and coaches to get refs on our sides.  

Not many people are having this conversation about ref's... The good, the bad, and how to fix it.
