The impact of being a Buckeye both on and off the field. In this episode, Eric Kasimov chats with Nate Oliver, Director of the Keith B. Key Buckeye Social Entrepreneurship Program at The Ohio State University, and a key member of the 2007 to 2011 Ohio State Buckeye football program.

Eric and Nate discuss the power of mentors, the impact of Coach Jim Tressel, and life after football.

We are grateful that Nate shared his stories with us on the SportsEpreneur Podcast.

Thanks to Buckeye Nation, LinkedIn, and podcasting, we were able to talk with this Buckeye. When we heard about the type of teammate Nate was during his playing days and then heard how he is helping students today, we knew this conversation would be thoughtful. Nate was mentored by some Buckeye greats and he passed it on as he continued with his journey in the Ohio State football program. It’s people like Nate that we look to for stories and inspiration.

There is so much beauty out there that people don’t give themselves the opportunity to experience.

To improve your relationship with reality, you must come to realize that you cannot control external factors.

There’s winning, there’s losing, and then there’s not participating. In this episode, Eric Kasimov chats with Dan McGovern, Founder, Owner, and Director of Yes I Can Basketball.

Coach Dan McGovern, known to many as Coach Mac, discusses with Eric the 3 feelings in sports, youth basketball, and finishing what you started. 

Yes I Can Basketball is the most popular youth basketball program in Charlotte, NC for boys and girls. It will be expanding across the country as Yes I Can is now franchised. 

We truly enjoyed chatting with Coach Mac on this podcast as Eric has watched him lead young children as two of his kids have participated in his leagues and camps. Having the opportunity to ask questions and think through many topics around development with an inspiring entrepreneur is something we take very seriously—and we hope you are able to take away something from this conversation for yourself. 

In February 2020, Coach Mac reached out to us as he found this article on Google. He gave us words of encouragement–it says a lot about Dan that he did this. It led to a great conversation, some messaging, and this podcast. The article he found is a few years old, but it goes to show you that evergreen content is for the long haul. And it can lead to new doors being open, new connections, great conversations, inspiration, and more.

We are grateful Dan reached out to us and then stopped by to chat with us on the SportsEpreneur Podcast.

“The credit belongs to the ‘person’ who is actually in the arena”. -Theodore Roosevelt. In this episode, Eric Kasimov chats with Matt Doherty, North Carolina Tar Heel, former College Basketball Coach, and business coach.

Coach Doherty and Eric explore growing up on the playground courts, leaders that have shaped so many, and dealing with haters and other obstacles. 

Coach Matt delivers some amazing lines in this episode including, “The Man in the Arena” quote as shown below. And this line as he discussed his early days: “the park is a truth-teller, basketball is a truth-teller.”

Matt is a North Carolina Tar Heel. A college basketball National Champion. And a college teammate to the greatest basketball player ever, Michael Jordan. Matt is the former head coach at Notre Dame, UNC, Florida Atlantic, and SMU, while also serving as an assistant at Kansas for 7 years.

Today Coach Doherty coaches businesses. And after chatting with him, it’s easy to see why. We are grateful Matt stopped by to chat with us on the SportsEpreneur Podcast.

Here is the full “The Man in the Arena” quote from Theodore Roosevelt via GoodReads.com:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt | As seen on GoodReads.com.
