Episode 6 | Telling the Truth with Mike Procopio Jul 16, 2022

Show notes

Something that is a common thread for basketball junkies is an unconditional love for the game. Mike Procopio turned his love of the game into a career. His passion for basketball enabled him to learn, establish a philosophy and found a purpose as a coach. Thanks to his upbringing in Boston, his approach as truth teller became his calling card. For some, it’s blunt and it’s brash, but great players love to be pushed knowing that it makes them that much better.

While it might be old school, the proof is in Mike’s long list of success stories. From greats like Kobe Bryant to the grinders just trying to find life as pro, his no nonsense style led to greatness. Still, pushing players can backfire in situations where it goes too far. As Drew points out to Mike, the game has definitely changed in terms of coaching styles, but sometimes it’s needed to get a player’s best.

Episode 5 | Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later with Tyrese Haliburton Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

If you haven’t studied Tyrese Haliburton’s game…it’s about time. A multi-dimensional guard, who in two NBA seasons, Tyrese has established his identity as a foundational player who can create for himself and others, and flat-out wants to win. But for a kid who was pretty much slept on coming up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he’s continued to flourish at every level.

In his time with Tyrese, Drew has taken the “hate me know, thank me later” approach a long way. As he tells us, he was drawn to Tyrese’s hunger to be push, drive for success and his mentality. A common throughline for all players to draw from a player like Tyrese, is the desire to ask questions and constantly look for ways to get better. From there, the success, the accolades and most importantly, the wins will come.

Episode 4 | Seeing the Wins Through the Losses with David Nurse Jul 02, 2022

Show notes

No two basketball players are the same. Neither are their journeys. David Nurse’s path led him to locations he’d never seen, and situations he’d never expected. Wherever he landed, he learned along the way. He then put that experience to work. His approach is that if a chapter ends, not only does another door open, it’s actually several. While he played and coached at all levels of the game, it has led him to another place in life of perspective and impact.

Beyond his time as a player, and his work with the Brookly Nets and players like Jeremy Lin, David really locked in on the ability to pivot, no matter the circumstances. As Drew sees it, being “pot committed” will prove that you’ll ensure you reach goals you imagine for yourself. This perspective, mainly gained through experience, enables you to own the moment and thrive in whatever role you are in. Success, as you define it, can be determined by your own strengths and standards.

Episode 3 | Zero to One with Coach Clark & Coach Vernon Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

A great piece of advice for all players is to use the game of basketball, not to let the game use you. For Drew, his story was made in large part by the coaches who made the game possible for him. Two of those key figures were, Coach Woods and Coach Vernon, going way back to grade school in St. Louis. On the strength of Drew's elite level work ethic, these two coaches cultivated his drive, and instilled in him the right way to play.

By putting players in environments to get better, they will do exactly that. This includes taking your L’s. Which also means learning from those losses. And while they may not appreciate it in the moment, as Drew details, those lessons pay off years down the road. It's those coaches that work far beyond X’s and O’s, but rather serve as mentors, father figures and leaders, who should stand up and applaud.

Episode 2 | The Power of Character with Dr. Jon Clark Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

For all great players, it is the pursuit that defines them not only as athletes but as players. For Drew at Webster Gross High School it was the people that we haven’t heard of that got him to where is today. One key individual, Dr. Jon Clark was someone that empowered Drew and others to follow their dreams…as long as the work ethic, drive and dedication were there.

Dr. Clark himself, is a remarkable story, not only for his work with student athletes, but as a survivor in life. His connection with Drew is far beyond the game of basketball. They share the common thread of competitors, but their bond is that of teachers, leaders and motivators. And Dr. Clark is not only a key figure in academics, but an inspirational example for us all to draw from.

Episode 1 | Building Off Passion with Coach Jay Blossom Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

To kick things off on Unseen Hours, Drew went back to the beginning, sitting down with the man who helped him harness his drive for a lifetime in the game. For all players that want to work up to another level, the required drive and dedication is the starting point to succeed. At Webster Groves High School, Coach Jay Blossom had seen players of all ability levels in his program.

In Drew, Coach Blossom found a hungry, committed player that was willing to put in the hours and reps needed get better. That no limits, no shortcuts approach is relatable for all players of a high caliber. Still, for all of those that want to be great, the necessary attention to detail and capacity to improve on weaknesses demands a relentless will to push beyond regular expectations.

With Coach Blossom, Drew identifies the parallel traits that drove a young kid to build on a passion, to where all players can draw on their own experiences. For coaches, seeing players with that hunger is a welcome sight, it’s then their job to channel that desire en route to guiding them to success.
