290: Henry Yeh On Breaking In As A Basketball Analyst And Paying It Forward

The CUSP Show welcomes Henry Yeh, Graduate Assistant for the women's basketball team at Duke University, to share his story of moving to the United States and working to get discovered as a basketball film analyst. Henry describes what it was like to launch his own website breaking down NBA film, building an audience through the quality of his work, and how he parlayed his individual work into a role in the Miami Heat's scouting department. From there, he shares how one phone call led him to his current position at Duke, despite his original desire to join a program with far less athletic prestige. A native of Taiwan, Henry's accomplishments have earned him a mild amount of celebrity in his home country and throughout Asia. He explains discovering that he opened the door for people in Asia to do the work he does, what that means to him, and how he hopes to pay it forward as his career progresses. The CUSP Show is a production by the faculty of Sports Management at Columbia University.
