"Baynesie":
Aron Baynes is a household name not only in Australia but also in the NBA as well as in Europe. Has been around the globe playing in Europe, NBA, GLeague, NBL & Australia National Team. He's a 3 time Olympian and a NBA World Champion with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014.
Aron went through his fair share of challenges in his life and today we talked about all of them. We talked about his freak injury in Tokyo and the gruesome period he experienced throughout his recovery period, going into a deep depression. We touched on topics like 'negative self talk' and the effect it had on his children, rekindling the love for the game by going a step down to Greece, memories from the cold weather periods in Vilnius, Detroit & Boston and went down memory lane from his time with Brad Stevens.

"Kyle":
My first repeat guest, Kyle Hines, came back to my podcast after being my #2 episode to talk about his process of retirement, being in peace with it and entering the next stage of his life.
This conversation was very sincere and transparent, talking about the difficulties of sending out the final decision to the world, when he actually decided to make it his last season, the memories that still sting and the next stage of his life. A very unique and actually fresh conversation where you can see Kyle's emotions and thought process clearly.

"Sye":
My good friend Simon Cote is not only a long time friend but also used to be a long time colleague in the world of coaching. After serving as an Assistant at SMU & University of Tennessee in the late 90s he decided to start his coaching career in Europe and worked with current World Champion Gordon Herbert in Frankfurt. He was part of the championship team there before becoming a Head Coach himself in Giessen. Simon has also a wealth of experience as an Assistant coach in different countries as well as being a NBA scout for the Denver Nuggets in the early 2000s.
Today we talked about the darker side of coaching, the part where you get fired and have to search for new opportunities in the world of basketball coaching. Simon talked about loss of identity and eventually about his transition out of the sport and into a completely new avenue, finance.
Lots of valuable lessons in here for everyone on how to re-define yourself, finding new motivation in a completely new area of life and overcoming challenges that come with that. Leaving behind the sport you love is never easy, today you will hear Simon's story.

"So":
Sophia started her basketball journey together with me in Shreveport, Louisiana as an exchange student before she became a superstar at Baylor University. She took the Lady Bears to a National Championship and became the MVP of the Final Four before getting drafted by the San Antonio SilverStars and continuing her journey in the WNBA and later in various countries around Europe as well as in China! Sophia is currently an Assistant Coach with the Lady Bears program and is continuing her mentorship of young ladies in college as well as developing their on-court skills at the same time.
Today, "So" and me talked about her journey and the challenges along the way that she encountered while reaching her potential. We talked about the straining journey of a WNBA player and how to juggle playing all year around between WNBA & overseas, which at some point ended up in exhaustion and an ACL tear during her time in China. We also went into depth of her journey of retirement and trying to rediscover herself, building a new identity outside the court and finding new passions that she can pursue, including podcasting with her husband.
Sophia is also a proud mother of two and enjoying life all together in Texas.

Šiandienos svečio ilgai pristatinėti nereikia - Pauliaus Jankūno vardas daug kartų nuskambėjo ir vis dar skamba Žalgirio Arenoje. Beveik visą savo profesionalią karjerą praleidęs Žalgiryje ir su juo laimejęs 15 LKL titulų bei 5 kartus tapęs Karaliaus Mindaugo taurės nugaletoju, Paulius šiandien apsilankė mano podcaste.
Šalia visų vietinių, asmeninių pasiekimų ir kitų apdovanojimų Paulius gali pasigirti ir trimis medaliais, iškovotais su Lietuvos krepšinio rinktine. Bet šiandien visgi nekalbėsim apie titulus, o analizuosim kelią tų titulų link ir kokie niuansai nulėmė sėkmę.
Su Pauliumi mes aptarsim jo būdus susikoncentruoti ir atsiriboti nuo išblaškančių aplinkybių; apie tai, kokius dalykus apie varžovų stiprybes ir silpnybes išgirsti prieš rungtynes iš skautų ir asistentų žaidėjui būna svarbu; paliesime, kokios tos kapitono pareigos iš tikrųjų yra ir ko tiksliai jos reikalauja. Paulius pasidalins, į ką daugiausiai kreipė dėmesio būdamas kapitonas ir kaip stengėsi padėti naujai atvykusiems komandos žaidėjams, ypatingą dėmesį skirdamas iš užsienio atvykusiems žaidėjams ir jų integracijai Lietuvoje. Kalbėjome ir apie komandos rūbinės privatumą, dabartines Pauliaus pareigas ir į ką jis kreipia dėmesį stebėdamas treniruočių procesą iš šalies.
Šis pokalbis taip pat ypatingas, nes aptarėm ir gyvenimo vertybes bei kitas temas, apie kurias rečiau teko girdėti ankstesniuose podcastuose.
Jeigu pokalbis jums patiko, prašau juo pasidalinti! O jei mano podcaste norite dažniau matyti svečius ir pokalbius iš viso pasaulio - prenumeruokite ir nepraleiskite naujų epizodų.

"Martin":
Not many people in the sports business know who Martin Kuchalik is but the people who work with him truly appreciate his knowledge and view on things. Martin is a communication expert and is hired by companies to observe and improve internal communication especially when taking the vertical communication from management down to its employees. The goal is always to create a platform of understanding each other better and cooperating in order to reach common goals...just as in sports.
Today, I tried to combine the two worlds and bridge the gap between the business world of communication and my basketball world, especially within the coach's locker-room as well as the dynamic between coaches & players.
We talked a lot about trust-based communication, brutal honesty vs honesty with empathy, how to ask powerful and open ended questions, cultural differences within a company and how to help understand each other better, how to deal with manipulation as well as patronization at the work-place and much more.
My favorite episode to say the least, we totally geeked out :)

"Eskedar":
Eskedar is a good friend of mine and has been living in Vilnius first as a refugee before finally becoming a Lithuanian citizen. Today she shared her crazy and unique story of how she escaped an oppressive government in Ethiopia 19 years ago, got tangled up in an even more restrictive government in Khartoum (Sudan) until civil war broke out before ending up in jail in Lybia and then taking a boat to Malta to finally enjoy her freedom. She did this final journey while being pregnant and ended up in Lithuania with her boyfriend at that time. Meanwhile, Eskedar enjoys her freedom in Lithuania for 17 years now, is politically active and shares her story as inspiration for all people around Lithuania that anything is possible while also being a business woman in Vilnius.
Eskedar is running several Cafes in Vilnius where she is selling her locally roasted coffee beans from different countries in Africa & inviting people to traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremonies while creating her own community based on her native Ethiopian hospitality traits.
If you need an inspirational story as well as a good laugh and a new place to taste some Ethiopian Coffee in Vilnius, check this episode out and share it with friends who love coffee as much as we do!

Today we covered a variety of topics in my longest podcast yet. We talked from the importance of sharing information amongst peers, finding information from outside your field and applying it to your daily job. I was also curious on what coaches and scouts have to do in order to be pro-active against prolonged sitting and hurting their backs. Weightlifting for players, the recovery process after games and many more topics that are important to athletes, coaches & staff!

"Sergio":
Sergio Scariolo doesn't need a long introduction, his successes speak for itself especially with Spain's National Team and the countless titles internationally that they have won. 5 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals across Eurobasket, World Cup and Olympic tournaments. He's the winningest National Team coach in the modern era of basketball. Sergio can also consider himself a NBA champion when he won the NBA championship as an Assistant Coach with the Toronto Raptors.
Today, we let all of those achievements 'rest in peace' and talked more about the constructive part of the game, especially when it comes to communication with super stars and his take on it as well as lots of stories around the invention of the Spanish Pick & Roll & more.
This episode had lots of constructive advice for young coaches behind the scenes on how to behave in certain situations as well as avoid doing the mistakes that he did himself during his younger years as a coach.
A very genuine and sincere episode with one of the greatest coaches of the modern era of basketball, please enjoy!!

"Jonce":
Today's guest is Jonas Mačiulis, my long time player at the National Team level who became a good friend after his playing career. Jonas is a high achiever and has countless awards to show for across several countries around Europe. Most notably with Real Madrid in Spain and Panathinaikos in Greece. Jonas won countless domestic titles with Panathinaikos & Real Madrid as well as the Euroleague in 2015 with Madrid. He also prides himself with being a long time National Team player and winning four medals, two silver medals (2013 & 2015) & one bronze medal (2007) in European Championships as well as a bronze medal at the world cup in Turkey (2010).
We talked about his road to recovery after tearing his ACL and what made the biggest difference in his support group. Later we went on to talk about the competitive practices at Real Madrid as well as his experience with Pablo Laso. We also covered subjects from his current position with Kedainiai Nevežis and all the lessons he took from being a player that he can apply now, especially in regards to dealing with players and building the club from the ground up.

"Marko":
Marko Pesic is more than a household name in the European Basketball community, he's a former ALBA as well as National Team player and current General Manager of FC Bayern Munich Basketball. He has countless domestic titles as well National Team medals under his belt as a player as well Manager of Bayern Munich but may all those achievement rest in peace today.
Marko and me had a wide ranging conversation about his life as a coach's son, the struggles of growing up as one and finally finding validation. We obviously touched on communication, which is my favorite subject and that helped us contextualize a lot of details that are 'hidden' in the daily life of a GM. We talked about the communication between him and the Sports Director as well as the Head Coach and how to keep everyone on the same page, which situations matter in regards to communication with players and which situation can't be solved by him. Learning to distinguish of what he can solve and what he can't solve is key to the success of an organization and being aligned with everything that is going on in the club.
We also touched on scouting your own team, observing practices and the qualities to look for in a Head Coach, obviously also dove into the integration of youth players and how to make decisions that involved their development.
We also briefly analyzed a box score from their last game vs Panathinaikos on www.proballers.com and swiftly moved on to talking about his personal life, the balance between family and work as well as his 'information diet' and what influences his thinking on a daily basis.

"Danny":
Danny is a long time friend of mine and currently the GM of the Perth Wildcats, representing the NBL proudly.
Danny has a very colorful background across the world, from playing in Australia to Oregon Tech in the US as well as the Irish National Team to being the video coordinator for the Bakersfield Jam and working in Europe as the International Scout of the Philadelphia 76ers after briefly coaching in Italy. Danny later moved to the US to become the Director of Scouting for Philadelphia before transitioning back to his hometown in Perth as the GM of his hometown team, Perth Wildcats.
Today we had a wide array of topics that ranged from his experience in the NBA, what he took away from his time at Philadelphia, the lessons he learned and what he can apply not only from his roles but also from other sports to his team in Perth. We also veered off and talked about how he balances family & work and what his philosophy in Perth is all about.
