About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Middlebrooks, former NC State player and one of my former teammates, who is now in his rookie season playing professionally in Sweden.

We talk about what it’s really like to go from college basketball to your first year as a pro. From signing that first contract, to adjusting to a new country, and dealing with the challenges that come with playing overseas.

Ben shares his experience, what surprised him the most, and what he’s learning during this transition.

If you’re a college athlete thinking about going pro or just want to understand what that first year overseas really looks like, this episode gives you a real perspective.
