Episode 1: More Than A Game - Why The Mind Matters

What if a basketball court could save a life?

In our premiere episode, Garry Mills, Yogi Den and Shavonne Munir will unpack a truth most people miss: sports aren't just physical - they're mental, emotional, and spiritual.

We dive deep into:

• How basketball became therapy before therapy was accessible in Black communities
• Why mental strength separates good players from GREAT ones (and how this applies to LIFE)
• The real game we're all playing - building resilience, community, and legacy
• How Shoot Basketballs NOT People uses sports to interrupt violence and transform lives in Philadelphia

This isn't your typical sports talk.

We're exploring why the court became a sanctuary. Why coaches became therapists. Why the game became MORE than a game.

Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, parent, or just trying to win at life - this conversation will shift how you see performance, pressure, and purpose.

Come along for this journey.

What You'll Learn:

• The connection between athletic performance and mental wellness
• How to build mental toughness that translates off the court
• Why community-based programs like SBNP are saving lives
• Practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and pressure
• The difference between surviving and thriving

Perfect for: Athletes looking to level up their mental game | Entrepreneurs managing pressure | Parents raising resilient kids | Anyone who's ever used sports to cope with life | People who want to understand the REAL impact of community programs
