From Basketball Courts to Fitness Coaching: My Interview with Mike Roach

I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Mike Roach, NBA broadcaster for the Toronto Raptors, to discuss my journey in basketball, the impact I’ve had on the Canadian basketball community, and how those experiences have shaped my current venture.

In the interview, we explored my early days growing up immersed in Canadian and American basketball culture, the lessons I learned through collegiate and professional play, and the dedication it takes to compete at a high level. Basketball taught me discipline, resilience, and a relentless commitment to improvement—principles that extend far beyond the court.

Today, I’m channeling those values into my new training facility, ProBody Gym, where I help individuals of all fitness levels achieve their goals. Whether it’s losing weight, building strength, or simply adopting a healthier lifestyle, my aim is to provide a training experience similar to what I practiced as a professional athlete.

This conversation with Mike was a powerful reminder of how far I’ve come and how much more I want to give back. I’m proud to share my story and even prouder to be helping others build their own success stories through fitness and health.

Thank you, Mike Roach, for the platform to reflect on my journey and share my vision for ProBody Gym. Together, we’re building a community that values hard work, dedication, and results. You can enjoy the full interview here!
