Summary

An NBA legend on being Better Than Before - Jane’s stellar guest today is basketball superstar Alonzo Mourning, a seven-time All-Star who was one of the greatest players in Miami Heat history and an Olympic gold medalist for the USA. Currently the Vice President of Player Development for the Heat, he and Jane talk all about his storied career and challenging but ultimately uplifting medical history. They also discuss his vegan diet, fitness program and commitment to healthy living in general. Furthermore, Alonzo shares his hard-earned wisdom for winning in life. And the encouraging counsel he gives to the children of South Florida through his charity, the Mourning Family Foundation, to educate and create the opportunity for them to excel. Equally important to him, however, is his partnership with Vertex Pharmaceuticals on a new campaign called Power Forward, which brings awareness to APOL-1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). Alonzo himself suffers from this disease and underwent a kidney transplant right in the middle of his playing career!
