#32: Ashley Graham

Professional Hoops, Finding Sustainable Confidence, and the Hooper Identity

I speak with former professional basketball player Ashley Graham about beating undefeated Gonzaga on her way to the NCAA Tournament, making a Santa Clara school record 9 three pointers in a game, how she cultivated a successful pro career in Turkey, Belgium, Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania, finding sustainable confidence, dealing with shooting slumps, the difficult transition from being a player, and more.

If you or someone you know is in the Seattle area and wants to train with Ashley, check out Pinnacle Hoops, her organization providing individual basketball skills training, team workouts, as well as clinics and camps.
