John Wheeler has a very high IQ when it comes to installing the Princeton Offense into basketball programs and making it work for their personnel. I'll admit, for years, I was a major skeptic of the Princeton Offense. It seemed slow and behind the times in regards to the 'basketball of today' which typically is a faster pace, but after speaking with John and getting to know him better, it was VERY educational and insightful to gain his insight. In today's interview, please get ready to take notes. And if you are like me, and had pre-conceived ideas of this topic, please come to this interview with an open-mind so you can be open to learning something new. In our discussion John opens up about his time at Ohio State University where he actually was on the practice squad for the Women's Team?!! Yeah you heard that right. That's actually a thing, and this was in the early 2000s and he'll explain how that happened and how he even found himself in that position. But that was a moment in time that shifted John's career in a positive way. With mentors that have helped guide him, John found a passion for coaching and now, because of his expertise, he is able to help SO MANY coaches and programs with his knowledge. He has taken his knowledge to the internet and provides courses and trainings on the Princeton Offense. Get to know John today on the show and if you'd like to check out what he has to offer, I'd highly encourage you to checkout his site: https://theprincetonoffense.com/allaccess-optin You can follow him on Social Media as well: https://www.instagram.com/johnjwheeler/https://www.facebook.com/johnwheeler81 I hope you enjoy the episode!

I knew he needed to share his story on the podcast. In this episode you're going to hear about his route to the professional game. It was not your 'traditional' route for a basketball player. It was one full of ups and downs. It was one full of perseverance. You'll also notice there were some good things that came his way, and he had to be prepared to take advantage of certain situations when they were presented to him. Henry knows what it takes to compete at the next level. He understands the confidence as well that is required to level up your game, and that's why he's now taking all that he knows and pouring into athletes across the state of Idaho. He now runs The Jungle Basketball which you can find here: https://thejunglebasketball.com/ He's training basketball players and helping them elevate their game so they can compete at the highest possible point. If you are interested in working with Henry, make sure to hit him up and check out the website, or you can follow him on Social Media and send him a DM.

I remember thinking, dang that guy got WAY bigger than I remember him in college and now I know why! Jason played basketball for Boise State University and then went onto play professionally for a few years following. He had stints in the NBA Summer Leagues, and he played with the Idaho Stampede of the NBA D-League (now known as the G-League). He has won championships at various areas and with various organizations. He knows what it takes to win. Now the interesting thing with Jason, is he's only 6'7 so in today's basketball 'standards' he'd be considered an 'undersized' forward. But he found ways to make himself bigger, stronger, faster, and more durable, to where he could make a legitimate impact on the floor! Listen in today and find out about the hard work it took to get to where he was so he could be able to get a paycheck to play the game he loves! It's a great opportunity for those who are truly wanting to play at the next level, to understand the ins and outs of the game of basketball and what it's going to take, on and off the court, to be able to make it! We appreciate Jason for joining us and helping share his knowledge with the rest of us! Make sure you review the podcast on Apple Podcasts so we can get the show out to more and more people!

He had the opportunity of playing under Coach Chris Petersen as well as Coach Bryan Harsin and there were different coaching styles between the two of them.
