Beyond The Whistle with Odell McCants
With the news today (January 26, 2020) of the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, this episode is not about the reasons why I have not recorded in a while. There was no better example than Kobe of work ethic, winning habits, passion and preparation. So I'm not going to share excuses.

Tom McMillen, President & CEO of Lead1 Association
Beyond The Whistle with Odell McCants
As a kid growing up in Washington, DC, Tom McMillen was someone I followed closely. Tom was an All-American at the University of Maryland, played 11 years in the NBA, and served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.
info_outlineOn September 26th, the college sports world was rocked by an F.B.I. investigation of college basketball, which lead to the arrests of 10 people, including four assistant coaches and two Adidas executives. The fallout has also included the firing of Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino by the University of Louisville. And this is just the beginning.
On this episode, which is going to be the first of several you will hear from me on this, I am going to share with you my thoughts on coaches and provide a solution to how coaches can make the right decisions.
I come at this from the perspective of having been a recruited athlete, having been a player agent, and as someone now working with college basketball coaches on professional and career development and helping them advance in their careers.
I also share the McCants Sports W.I.S.E. Recruiting Strategy.
