Ron Harper, Jr. plays for the Toronto Raptors. He went to college at Rutgers University. Most people know the name Ron Harper from the five-time NBA champion, which makes it hard for Ron to find his own lane. Comparisons between him and his dad happened every time he walked onto a court. Ron had to create his own lane, be his own basketball player, and stay true to himself and his path so he didn't get deterred by the pressures of comparison.

Instead, Jeremy decided to go the athletic performance route.

Buddy Boeheim currently plays for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. He went to college at Syracuse University. Buddy opened up about what it was like having a famous basketball coach as a father and how opponents treated him in games. While he had all the resources available, nobody was going to let him off easy - most people played their hardest against him so they could brag they shut down a Boeheim.  It finally clicked for him when he was at a point in his youth career where he had to decide if he was going to fight for success or let it go because the challenge was too much. Buddy shares what it was like in that moment and how he fought to earn his playing minutes and make it to the NBA.

Nash Jensen currently plays for North Dakota State University, a FBS Division 1 football program that has a storied history of national championships. Nash talks about how he had to quit basketball in high school to focus on football and how that changed his trajectory. While he received FCS offers, the recruitment approach of NDSU gave him the confidence he could succeed there. After his father's passing, he found himself not trying in practice, no focus, and no motivation. Thanks to his supportive friends and teammates around him, he woke up and realized the opportunity that was in front of him and he got back on the horse. He's now on the brink of having an opportunity to play in the NFL thanks to falling back in love with football.

Tyson Etienne currently plays for the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. He went to college at Wichita State University. Before reaching all of this success, Tyson had a hard road to navigate. From AAU tournaments, getting recruited, and proving that the fight inside of him meant he would beat anyone, Tyson shares so many motivating stories that most athletes can connect with. When his friend was killed in High School, Tyson learned to play for a higher purpose. It was emotional and he had the chance to leave it all behind, but instead he double down and made sure the only option was succeeding.
