(Part 2) I'm excited to welcome Ben Kil to the show for today's Spotlight Episode. He's a professional basketball player, certified strength & training coach, and the TOP1 Performance/Travel Club owner.
Ben represents a small number of Asian Americans who have had a basketball career beyond high school. This episode discusses the not-so-known nuances of being Asian American in non-Asian-dominated sports. From fans throwing chopsticks at him during a rivalry game, being underestimated, and having to earn everything because he was different, Ben shares all his trials and tribulations and how he was to find the strength to overcome obstacle after obstacle in this podcast episode.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
- Trying out for the Korean Basketball League (KBL)
- 2 million dollar Adidas offer on the line
- Sharing his experience with trying out for the KBL and KBL draft night
- Ben talks about the different types of professional basketball leagues around the world
- Wanting to inspire the youth
