Longevity With Derek Williams

from Unscripted With Akeem Haynes · host Akeem Haynes

This week I'm joined by the man who's helping athletes in the NBA and various other sports add years to their career, Former professional basketball player and high-performance fitness trainer Derek Williams Aka Mr1nf1n1ty Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Derek grew up in less than ideal circumstances. However, From an early age, he had dreams of playing in the NBA. Basketball wasn't just a dream but rather an outlet for him to stay out of trouble and put his focus on something productive. He quickly made a name for himself in the high school ranks before signing play with the IUPUI Jaguars a decision 1 school in the NCAA. After receiving his BA from IUPUI he decided to go play professional basketball in Europe, where he won a championship and was named MVP. After battling some injuries, he decided to call it a career and embark on a new path that would help athletes get healthy and stay healthy to achieve their own greatness and be their best optimal selves. However, the journey was not without its challenges. During his transition, he faced stages of homelessness, but it was at that time where he said "it wasn't a bad time. I found out a lot about myself that I needed to figure out" Since those times he's been on a path to attack personal health for athletes from the inside out. "If I can help them get their mind strong, their body will heal externally" he's worked with NBA players, NFL players and various other sports helping them prolong their career and get them back on track. Derek is an inspiration to many, he's genuine, he's a man who speaks with belief and conviction and stands on what he believes in. Follow Derek on social: @mr1nf1n1ty
