The Talent Equation Podcast

"There were times when I didn't want to go to practice" - a conversation with Adrian 'Eco Hoops' Sapp


Listen Later

Adrian Sapp is a basketball coach from Ontario in Canada. He runs a basketball programme called 'Eco Hoops' which states in it's mission statement...

"EcoHoops, driven by a mission to transform youth basketball, places the utmost emphasis on nurturing the whole child. Central to our philosophy is the mental and emotional well-being of every young athlete, ensuring a positive, safe, and joy-filled basketball experience."

I thought that I need to get Sdrian on to have a chat and explore his story.

We delve into the following topics:
  • How Steph Curry is a product of envionemntal constraints.
  • Adrian's challenges to get parents and other coaches to embrace the appoach.
  • How discovering the ecological approach helped him go from being critical and miserable to engaging and joyful.
  • How learning about Growth Mindset from his child's school homework acted as the 'gateway' to an ecological worldview.
