#161 Zaka Presents My Journey Miles Mendes

We welcome Miles Mendes, a remarkable student-athlete whose maturity, faith, and passion for basketball set him apart. At probably the youngest age of any guest we’ve hosted, Miles shares a life journey filled with wisdom and lessons that resonate well beyond his years. Growing up in a culturally diverse household and attending a Christian university, Miles reflects on how his background, faith, and love for the game have shaped his outlook on life.Miles dives into his childhood dreams, the values he carries into his collegiate career, and how basketball became more than just a game, it became a driving force in his life. He speaks candidly about balancing the demands of being an athlete with academics, the challenges of navigating cultural nuances in his day-to-day life, and how his faith keeps him grounded through it all.
