My guest for Episode #293 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Spencer Jones, a rookie forward with the Denver Nuggets and a Stanford University graduate, where he earned a degree in Management Science and Engineering. Episode page with links and more He averaged 11 points per game over five standout years at Stanford, leading the Pac-12 in three-point shooting as a freshman and graduating as Stanford's all-time leader in three-pointers. Before college, Spencer also secured three high school state championships in Kansas. While his professional basketball career with the Denver Nuggets keeps him on the court, Spencer's ambitions stretch far beyond the game. Passionate about the intersections of sports, health, and technology, he is actively building his brand in the health tech space, leveraging his platform as an athlete to explore innovation and make an impact off the court. In this episode, Spencer shares his journey from high school state championships to becoming Stanford's all-time leader in three-pointers and his transition to the pros. Spencer opens up about his favorite mistake: hesitating to embrace the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities during his college years due to concerns about balancing individual branding with team dynamics. Reflecting on how this hesitation caused him to miss out on valuable opportunities early in his college career, Spencer explains how he learned to navigate those challenges and is now focused on capitalizing on his NBA platform while staying grounded in his basketball priorities. Throughout the episode, we discuss Spencer's experiences balancing academics, athletics, and building a brand, including how his Management Science and Engineering degree from Stanford shaped his interest in the intersections of health, technology, and business. Spencer also offers insights into the evolving dynamics of NIL, the challenges of team equity, and the impact of the transfer portal. We explore his presence on LinkedIn as a platform for connecting with alumni and businesses, his passion for investments and startups, and how watching NBA superstar Steph Curry train influenced his own work ethic. Spencer's reflections provide valuable lessons on resilience, legacy building, and preparing for life after sports. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? Can you explain NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) and the opportunities it offers athletes? How did NIL impact team dynamics, and what was it like balancing individual and team priorities? Did you consider transferring to another school, especially with the new transfer rules? What lessons did you learn about balancing academics and athletics at Stanford? Why did you choose Management Science and Engineering as your major? What impact did being in Silicon Valley have on your development, connections, and career opportunities? How much interest is there among players in investing, startups, and business ventures beyond basketball? What kind of resources does the NBA or players' associations provide to help players prepare for their futures? How does the G League (formerly D League) fit into player development for someone in your position? What factors went into your decision to sign with the Denver Nuggets, especially as a two-way player? How do you approach balancing short-term versus long-term decisions in your basketball and business career? What led you to build a presence on LinkedIn, and how has that platform benefited you? What advice do you have for other athletes about building their brand and preparing for life after sports? How do you manage the pressure of potential mistakes in high-visibility situations like an NBA game?

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld.  In today's show, Dr. Lisle's discusses a term called The Ego Trap in the context of the following listener question: 1. Do you think Lebron James is ego-trapping his son Bronny? He has tweeted that Bronny is going to do extremely well he just needs a bit of time, but in reality the kid looks like he's not even cut out for the D-League. I know there's something to be said of Lebron's status and influence in the league when it comes to decision-making, but I wonder what will come out of his son. Bronny has stated in the past that he wants to make his own name and not be compared to his dad. Do you think Lebron's son will succeed in not feeling bad for living up to people's high expections and just play the game because he loves it? Or will he react like a teenager with pushy parents wanting him to get straight A's knowing that he can't?

Clay Moser, who has three decades of experience in professional basketball, is in his third year as an assistant coach with the Razorbacks for the 2021-22 season. During several of his stops in the NBA and D-League, Moser and Musselman have been on the same staffs. Moser's second year at Arkansas saw the Razorbacks reach a national level of success the program had not experienced since the mid-1990's. Arkansas earned a #3 seed to the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the Elite 8 and finished ranked among the top 10 in the final polls marking the first to attain any of the three milestones since 1995. Overall, Arkansas went 25-7 – marking the 13th time in 98 years of basketball the program won at least 25 games – and was 13-4 in the SEC to finish second. The Razorbacks ranked third in the NCAA in free throws made and 11th in scoring offense while leading the SEC in scoring margin. Also, the Hogs showed perhaps the nation's best improvement in rebounding, going from 342nd (of 350 teams) to 57th in rebound margin, from 332nd to 18th in rebounds per game, 325th to 44th in offensive rebounds and 288th to 33rd in defensive rebounds.

Tim Frazier was told he was too small and weak to play contact sports. But sibling rivalry fueled him to prove his doubters wrong and propelled him to a basketball scholarship with Penn. There, his stellar play at the point earned Tim All Big Ten honors. Yet disaster loomed, and he tore his Achilles just a few months later. Looking at the game through his coaches' eyes, he turned a negative into a positive and worked his way back onto the court with courage and determination.In his senior year, Tim's pure point guard skills and improved shooting got him back in contention for the NBA draft, but he never heard his name called. He worked out for several teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers and made the Boston Celtics' summer league squad. He was playing in the D League in Maine when he got the call from the 76ers, who needed cover because of injuries. Avery Bradley had to lend Tim shoes because his were locked in his team's practice facility. Tim had a series of short stays with multiple NBA teams, before getting a two-year deal with New Orleans. He played for 9 seasons in the league, before taking his talents to Greece and France.In this episode, Tim dishes on:What mental tools he used to come back strong after tearing his Achilles and stay in the NBAWhy his draft workout led to the 76ers drafting Joel Embiid How he apprenticed under Rajon Rondo and Damian LillardWhy he and trainer Phil Beckner almost came to blowsHow his faith has kept him strong through adversityWhat athletes can do to level up on the court and in lifeHow pro basketball games in Greece involve fans throwing flares, coins, and moreKeep up with Tim on his Instagram feed @timfraz23

We are fortunate to be visiting David Arseneault Jr. for today's episode. Coach Dave is the head men's basketball coach at Grinnell College in Iowa where he was a standout player for his father.  Grinnell, of course, is know for its System — a fast-paced style that employs trapping all over the court and quick shooting.  Before taking over at Grinnell, Arseneault was the head coach or the Reno Bighorns for two years, including a season where they set a D-League record for offensive efficiency.

Chris Leazier refers to himself as a basketball nomad. He grew up glued to Indiana University games back when Bobby Knight was patrolling the sidelines and winning more championships than he threw chairs. Though a good player, Chris decided in high school that he'd have a greater impact with a whistle around his neck. One of his first stops was Thetford Academy, where he coached Basketball Strong co-host Tim DiFrancesco (TD). After spending seven years as an assistant coach at Dartmouth College, Chris was at the helm of Saint Anselm College's women's basketball for two years. Then Bakersfield Jam head coach Will Voigt came calling and Chris entered the D-League, soon reuniting with TD as well. After several other college and high school coaching jobs, Will called Chris again and they teamed up to lead the Nigerian men's national team at the Rio Olympics. Soon after, Chris was back coaching high school basketball, and also served as the head of scouting and video for University of North Carolina women's coach Courtney Banghart, who had been his fellow assistant coach at Dartmouth. In the past few years, Chris has applied all his coaching expertise at Hudl, where he currently serves as market lead for elite basketball & D1 colleges. In this episode, Chris riffs on:How he developed more compassion as a coach, while still maintaining a standard of excellenceWhy it's important to enjoy and learn from every experience What coaching and life lesson transferred from coaching in the Olympics, college, and high school basketballWhich coach was the best servant leader he has ever seenWhat makes Courtney Banghart such a successful coachKeep up with Chris on his Twitter feed. 

Growing up in a broken home, Phil Beckner watched his mom walk to work at a gas station, and later clean houses after long shifts at a truck stop. So when it came to putting in the effort to earn good grades or a basketball roster spot at Kansas Wesleyan University, he had a higher standard to aim for.  When he graduated, Phil applied his gift for getting the best out of others to coaching, with roles at Weber State, the Oklahoma City Blue (the Thunder's D-League affiliate), and Nebraska.After two years as associate head coach at Boise State, Phil made the difficult decision to walk away from the college basketball sidelines. Several NBA teams came calling, but he chose to focus on two clients – Damian Lillard and Tim Frazier – and build his own coaching business instead. Betting on himself eventually paid off, with the likes of Mikal Bridges, Anfernee Simons, CJ McCollum, and Cam Johnson relying on Phil to develop their skills, mindset, and character. He also consults with the Philadelphia 76ers and other elite teams, athletes, and organizations.In this episode, Phil shares:How his mom's work ethic, two teachers' examples, and several mentors imprinted on himWhere the philosophy behind “Be better, be different” came from and how everyone can harness the success formula that made Damian Lillard an All-Star player and personWhy he equips players to be better humans as he's developing them on the courtWhat led him to leave college coaching and build a coaching business from scratch instead of taking an NBA jobWhy “We don't want anything from you – we want everything FOR you” guides his coachingWhy a deep level of significance is more impactful than a surface level of successLearn more from Phil @PhilBeckner on Twitter and at develop2compete.com

When Anthony Goods grew up, there were no dedicated basketball skills coaches, so he mastered the moves of NBA players like Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, and Baron Davis by recording them on VHS tapes and then practicing while watching himself in the sliding glass door of his house. He combined this diligence with a fierce competitiveness, getting so mad when his dad beat him 1-on-1 that he refused to ride in his car and walked miles home alone instead. Such traits served him well when he began getting the attention of college coaches as a sophomore at Corona Centennial High and became one of the best guards in the Inland Empire along with Darren Collinson and Andre McGee. Anthony committed early to Stanford, where he played for Trent Johnson and Johnny Dawkins. Anthony then played in the D-League and for clubs in Italy, France, and Israel, before co-founding basketball media company Swish Cultures. In this episode, Anthony shares: How 5 v 5 pickup games and playing 1-on-1 with his high school teammate, dad, and Blake Griffin improved his decision makingWhy Lou Williams was the best high school player he ever shared the court withHow Coach Johnson made him into a man and Coach Dawkin turned him into a professionalWhat grueling summer workouts with Crazy Frank  taught him about mental and physical toughness How learning to bet on himself got him into the top 10 in D-League scoring and led to the creation of Swish CulturesFollow Swish Cultures on Instagram, keep up with Anthony on his own channel, and listen to him on his podcast, Vet Moves. 

When someone has been an athletic trainer and strength and conditioning coach in the NBA, D-League (now the G League) and the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), you might assume they've worked in basketball forever. But in Zeshaun Mirza's case, his professional journey began by jumping out of a plane. Signing up for the US Army out of high school, Zeshaun took an extra $300 a month to become a paratrooper attached to an artillery unit. Transport aircraft would drop two-ton howitzer guns and he'd parachute out to work on the trucks that pulled them.After serving his country, Zeshaun decided to pursue his dream of going to college to become an athletic trainer. Meeting Bakersfield Jam head coach Will Voight while working a tryout, Zeshaun got his break when the team needed to replace head athletic trainer and Basketball Strong Podcast co-host Tim DiFrancesco, who was headed to work with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and the LA Lakers. After a baptism of fire, he stayed with the team for 4 years, before being offered the chance of a lifetime to join the Guangdong Southern Tigers in China as head strength and conditioning coach. Several seasons later, Zeshaun returned to the US, where he trained NBA All-Star Devin Booker for two summers, served the New Orleans Pelicans as an athletic trainer, and worked with James Johnson. During this time, he realized that basketball players needed portable training, mobility, and warmup tools in a convenient, travel-friendly package, and created the Z Kit.  In this episode, Zeshaun shares:·       How his military service taught him attention to detail, courage under pressure, and situational awareness·       Why these qualities served him well when he started working in professional basketball·       How working as a strength and conditioning coach, athletic trainer, and in other performance roles made him more versatile·       What he learned about the art of coaching while learning Mandarin and embedding in Chinese culture·       Why thinking ahead, not taking things personally, and confidence are keys to success in basketball and lifeStay tuned to Zeshaun's Instagram feed @zeshaun.mirza and up your game with the Z Kit at https://thezkit.com/ or on Instagram via @thezkit

When people talk about Canadian basketball players, they usually think of Steve Nash and Andrew Wiggins first. But there's a new breed of ballers from the Great White North, and Tyler Ennis is one of the best. His father, Tony, is a legendary coach who basically invented AAU-style travel ball north of the border. Tyler's parents moved the family south to St. Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey so that their son would have a better chance of landing a Division 1 college scholarship. As a standout guard, the five-star recruit did just that, getting a full ride to play at Syracuse. In his first season balling for the Orange, Tyler earned All-ACC second team, All-ACC Freshmen Team, and All-ACC Defensive Team honors. On February 28, 2014, Ennis was named one of the ten semi-finalists for the Naismith College Player of the Year, and proceeded to lead the Orange past Western Michigan in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Tyler's decision to then go pro was validated when he was selected with the 18th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns. After spending time on the roster and in the D League, Tyler was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, and later played for the Houston Rockets and LA Lakers, before taking his talents to Turkey. In this episode, Tyler riffs on: What being in “Night School” with a young Giannis Antetokounmpo taught him How Jason Kidd showed him what it means to be a floor generalWhy playing overseas has added to his gameHow he's keeping the faith after battling back from a leg fracture and achilles tendon ruptureWhat young players should know about the hard path to college and the LeagueKeep up with Tyler's basketball journey on his Instagram feed and on Twitter HERE This episode is brought to you by:Stria Sport: https://striasport.comWeartesters: https://weartesters.com
