Full Episode
And I was working on Jeff Withy. He was in the NBA, a big guy. And he comes in with Carmelo Anthony. And Melo's wearing this hoodie. Hoodie Melo. That is where it was born. Right over there. It's sweatpants tucked into his socks. And me and Jeff are like, what is this guy doing? This is goofy. Like, literally, like, the next week, Hoodie Melo was a thing.
All right, guys, we finally made it happen. Got David Ness here today. It's been a year we've been trying to do this, right? Yeah, we have been going back and forth on Instagram messages and just trying to schedule, and it's been my fault too.
Traveling too much. You're good, man. I'm very pumped for this. As a huge basketball fan, you've trained some of the best. Over 150 clients now, right? Yeah. That's impressive. Who was the first big client for you?
You know, the first big client was an interesting one. So he was a high school player. And my friend coached in the Bay Area, Archbishop Mitty. He's like, hey, I've got this stud player. He's going to be a top 10 draft pick when he goes into the NBA. Do you want to come work him out? And I was doing basketball camps at the time. I just got done playing overseas.
My overseas playing was more like a Will Ferrell semi-pro league than it was an actual like close to the NBA. So I'm like, yeah, of course, I want to get into NBA training. And I go up there and I had this moment of just not feeling like I was able to do this kind of like a confidence. Yeah, just the confidence of the imposter syndrome. But really, man, and I walk out. I don't do it.
I don't go work this guy out. My friend's like, hey, we're going back there tomorrow. We're going to film this thing. We're going to send it out to agents and NBA teams. The player was Aaron Gordon. So I was doing workouts for Aaron Gordon. He was awesome. We sent this video out to agents and teams. I started working out more players, doing pre-draft.
So the first guy, you can look back on YouTube and have a laugh. I've got these baggy shorts on, this big oversized polo. Aaron Gordon was the first guy. Dude, that's legendary. What he's doing on the Nuggets now is awesome. Yeah. Did not teach him anything to do with donkey, but yeah.
Yeah, because he was nice on the Magic, right? Yeah, I'm not sure. But then his transition to the role player, because he was the best person on the Magic, and a lot of people struggle to make that transition as a role player.
Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, it's kind of transferred from there of training NBA players individually led to coaching with the Brooklyn Nets. Now, it's an interesting dynamic coaching with a team. Most people think, like, that's the ultimate, but... I mean, it is and it isn't. If you're with a good culture and great coaching staff, it is.
