0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>deserved a relaxing offseason more than seventy Sixers assistant coach

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Dave Yeager. After battling head and neck cancer during the

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one twenty two NBA season and returning to

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.479
<v Speaker 1>the bench for the season's final stretch, the veteran coach

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>could have taken a hard earned trip off the grid. Instead,

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>he's spending his time giving back in multiple communities across

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the country. Ahead of one of Yeager's favorite summer events,

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a basketball camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in northern

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota and southern North Dakota, the now thirty years

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers assistant coach sat down for some time on the

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers Insiders podcast to discuss life, what's ahead, and

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>everything that he's doing to make the world a better place.

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm so so happy now to be joined by coach

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Dave Yeager. It is wonderful to see you. It's wonderful

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to see you healthy. How are you, Where are you?

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>What is happening in the life of an assistant coach?

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Right now. It's great to talk to you as well.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Things are really good for the Sixers and for me

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>as well as far as personally things that have going

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>on with recovering from cancer treatment, and it is a process,

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you never feel like you're fully healed

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>or done with it. That it's always going to be

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a part of your story and part of what you're

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>going to go through physically and mentally going forward, and

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>your family has to live with it as well. But

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>we feel very positive about it because of getting to

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>it early and identifying what the what the problem was

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>early and then going to treatment immediately, and so we

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>feel really very positive about what's going going forward to

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>be and live a full life. Well I'm not the

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>only one that feels this way, but it's just awesome

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to see you. How it's sort of like back to yourself.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>For like a little extra context. I remember last season

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>really well. We started a long road trip and you

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>sort of gave the announcement that we're gonna be taking

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>time away from the team, and nobody knew about it,

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and I remember as time went along there were questions

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>about whether or not you'd return during this season, and

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that doc especially, it was certainly hoping that

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you would get back, but not expecting you too. And

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I remember how meaningful it was to have you back

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 1>for the end of the season, for the playoffs, and

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>how I think, especially among men like people don't express

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of emotion, but that was a moment when

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>people really did and everyone was so happy to have

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you back. So what was it like to be able

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to get back? And now how much do you look

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>forward to going into a more regular season? Yeah, that

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>was really there was neat Any impact I had on

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>them was times a thousand of the impact they had

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>on me, you know. And being around the guys, being

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>around the coaches that are both the players and the

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff are way more than a working professional relationship.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>We're all friends, and you know, you're pulling for each other,

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and your families know each other, and your your families

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>are trying to help each other all the time. And

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>we're around each other more than we are with our

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 1>sometimes with our with our own families, and so it's

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>its own family. And so that was very invigorating for

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>me and just a real shot in the arm um.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And then certainly the competition and being able to be

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>part of another successful season, and now as you flow

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>into the upcoming season and the excitement that we have

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>going into that, and I know we'll talk about that,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but uh, it's just it's there's just such a good vibe.

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>We have a great group of players as people, and

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the same with the coaches as people that you want

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>to be around them. And so now with the success

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>we've head and the success we feel like we can

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>have going forward, it's just really it's a very positive

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>vibe because everybody's all pulling in the in the same direction.

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>And the offseason is a weird time because we don't

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>really get to check in with you guys all that much.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>But in the limited check ins that we have had

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>with the coaching staff, with executive leadership, there's a lot

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of excitement about what's gone down in the last few

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>weeks adding to the roster. Looking ahead, you mentioned building

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>on what was already a pretty successful experience with the

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>existing unit. What excites you about the changes that have

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>been made and the opportunity that's ahead now a little

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>let's say, like a little over a month in the distance. Yeah,

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty it's pretty crazy. You know, we thinks go

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>fast you know, and I think before you even get

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to the changes, I think you get to the fact

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that James Harden and Joel Embiide and then the other

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>guys did not have a lot of time together. Our

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>core has has two years together, Tyrese, Tobias and Joel

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>and Tobias have been together for X number of years.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>We get that, But to add a guy who has

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball as much as James does, especially with Joel,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that's only going to get better as more time is

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>spent together, right, And so I think that's going to

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>be really a positive for us to be able to

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>have a training camp and to go into a full

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>regular season together. And that's that's a process and a

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>journey that they'll continue because they're great players, continue to

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>get better at And then when you add the fact

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that our development of our younger players, they're going to

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>continue to get older. Shake Milton Matisse, title, et cetera,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. And I don't want to miss anybody. I mean,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in Tyrese, we kind of sometimes just glean glean over

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese because he's so he's so prominent. But he's had

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a great summer. We know this, and so there's that

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>development and that improvement from within UM and now you

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>then add the other players that Melton, D'Anthony Melton and

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>uh and PJ. Tucker with with Daniel House. So what

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>it does is it gives us a lot of flexibility.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Those guys can all play multiple positions. They can play

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>with the basketball, they can play without the basketball, and

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>they can all defend their own position very well as

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>well as other positions. So it's just a it's a

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>really And then they're good dudes too, Let's not let's

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>let's not let that go. They're they're good people. We're

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>adding to the mix. So it gives us a lot

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of depth. And some would say the other side of

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>it is you have more margin for error. You have

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Injuries are part of the process of an NBA season,

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and so to have that continuity where you kind of

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>don't miss a beat something when somebody has to be

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>out for X number of games or a period of time.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's just only And also the fact

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that especially PJ has been around the block, he's got

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>veteranness to him, he's got experience to him, and he's vocal,

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's really going to help our locker

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>rooms going to help our team continue to grow through

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the journey of the season. We've heard Doc talk about,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>we heard players talk about post game after the final

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>loss in the playoffs this season is toughness, And so

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you talk about PJ is someone that has all the

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>experience that a player can have in this league in

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>terms of winning, but also in terms of years. James

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of course has both of those as well, but the

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>toughness factor. As a coach, when you see the additions

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that have been made, how excited are you to watch

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the identity sort of start to evolve based on the

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>addition of people like PJ and the desire to get

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.239
<v Speaker 1>tougher that we heard everybody express after the loss. Yeah.

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you know, as a coach, you don't really want

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to hear that sometimes, I think from players, But I

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>think what they're expressing is I want to be part

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of me wants to be like this, but I need

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody to go first, you know. I mean, like I

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>got it in there, but I you know, And I

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's what PJ. Tucker's going to really like. You're

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>going to see guys now like come a little bit

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>out of their shell with their personality not outside of themselves,

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but to that part of it can come out a

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit more as somebody is kind of out there

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>in front. I wouldn't say that we are not tough

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>as our group, but I think that now we have

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a catalyst for that and a leader in that area,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think you'll see guys be their toughness is

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>going to come out a little bit more than it

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>has in the past. Well, I'm really excited about it.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for you to hopefully have a more conventional,

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>traditional eighty two games season to see how it all

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>comes together. The reason though, that we got together for

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>this conversation is to talk about some other things that

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>are happening off the court. This is something I love

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>doing with our players. Some of my favorite conversations to

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>have our sort of how are we using our platforms

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>outside of basketball to use your influence in a positive

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>way and make the world a better place. So I

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>know that you're going to be doing a camp this

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>upcoming week. I know that you're doing other things in

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the community as well, but let's start there. Why is

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it so important to invest in the different communities that

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you've been in and maybe can you actually rewind and

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>tell us about your roots with this area of the country,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>why it's important to you to continue giving back there. Yeah,

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, there's four things or probably more that

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we try to do in the offseason. One is totally

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>relaxed right from the long season, and then another one

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>would be we try to work with our younger players

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and develop them as much as possible. And then another

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>one would be, Okay, now I'm trying to think of

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>new ideas, and that usually kicks in about August because

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you've been chilling, you've been enjoying your family who misses

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you throughout the course of the season. So as a coach,

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to pick other people's brains, the college guys

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>wherever they're picking your brain. You're trying to figure out

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>different things that you can add to your group and

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>bring to the party this year that will help us

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get to another level. And so we're doing that, and

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>then forth being having an ability now that the summer

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>leagues are over, everybody's kind of available and the opportunity

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to do some camps or to do clinics and to

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>give back. And I think the mindset is always how

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 1>can I help? And you see that with Tyres and

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you see that with some of the other guys. It's

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>not a self promoting deal. It's it's how can we

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 1>help more people have experiences that they might not otherwise

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>have by providing resources for them to be able to

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>do some of these things. And so I'm a part

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>of a basketball camp and on the Standing Rock Reservation

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in southern North Dakota right in the middle and it's

0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>northern South Dakota, southern North Dakota in Fort Gates, North Dakota.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's important to me because I think I think

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>as a league we do a lot a lot of

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>good things as a league and individual parts of that,

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think we try to help some of the

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>more underserved places in our country. And one of those

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that sometimes I think gets overlooked a little bit is

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are the reservations. And some of the poorest counties that

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we have economically in our country are on the reservation.

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And the issues that some of these kids deal with,

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the suicide rates, the alcoholism rates, and those kinds of

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>things that they grow up with, where I'm able to

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe have a have a chance to uh to have

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>an impact or to show them something or they they

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>hear something like, oh, that's cool, I get I get

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a taste of that. I get a vision of what

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it looks like. If it's not about getting out, but

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's rising too in their future. Maybe I

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>want to be part of this that or the other

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>experience that maybe I never even got to chance to

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>see in my mind. For us to do those kinds

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of things as some of the players do with their camps,

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>and that's what we're trying to do and what I'm

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to serve at this camp. That's so cool, so exciting,

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and very helpful to people like me that don't have

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>background in that area to just learn more. So thank

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>you for sharing that, and thank you for everything that

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you're doing with them. I know you're also involved in

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the NJTL. If you want to tell us a little

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>bit more about that. I don't know that people always

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>understand it's a it's a it's a privilege for me

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>rather to force you guys to brag about yourselves a

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.439
<v Speaker 1>little bit, because not everybody knows that this is such

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a big part of your life, of the players lives,

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 1>of the other coaches lives. So if you would indulge

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>me and us and let us know a little bit

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>about that organization as well. I think people would love

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to hear about it. I think, you know, if you

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 1>champion certain things where you are, and how you can

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>help with maybe your experiences and how that can maybe

0:11:54.840 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>help somebody else. And so I bumped into this opportunity

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>in while I was the head coach in Memphis junior

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>tennis and my kids. We were going to put him

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 1>in this program and and the it's like three hours

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a day for five days of the week. And the

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>guy said, you know, that's going to be fifty bucks.

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, pardon me. He goes, if that's

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>too much, you know we have we can bring it

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>down through our donations. I was like, no, no, it's

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>not enough. How are you able to do that and

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>serve these kids? And and it was it was in

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the know in some inner city spots in Memphis, around

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the community, and and that's how I got to learn

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>about it. And so how can I help bring focus

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to that and also funds so that we can get

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>more kids in there who don't need, don't can't pay,

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>or don't need to pay because we helped support that.

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And so uh, at the NJTL is National Junior Tennis

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in Learning UH and it was started by Arthur ashe

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>uh just a tremendous spokesperson and wonderful human being and

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>we helped a lot of kids. And so now you know,

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>as time has happened and my life has changed personally

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>with through the cancer. And then we also have the COVID.

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm really looking forward to doing something with the NJTL

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia, and they've got a good program and people

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>have gone on from there to do to do really

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>good things as I've understood, and it's just the world

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is changing now that we're fully back open and we

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>can get involved in some of those things. So I

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's really positive. And then you have the what

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>has happened to me lately and my experience with cancer

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and the idea that okay, how can I help and

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>if I can use a platform to get it out

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that early detection makes a difference. It absolutely makes a difference.

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure it's not a big deal. No, go

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>get it checked out. Go and so and with the

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.959
<v Speaker 1>sixers have just been so supportive and that's just terrific.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be able to do five or six

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson is going to put out five or six different

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 1>opportunities throughout the community with a mobile service where they

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>can they can screen people and work on early detection

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>for people that might not otherwise make that trip or

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>push themselves to go have something checked out and man

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like that. That's like that makes a difference. And I'm

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>just really really proud of our organization because they're like,

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they're just ahead of the curve. They're they're fantastic in

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.239
<v Speaker 1>their support of how can we help with the resources

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>we have, which is a lot. Uh and it's it's

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it's very humbling, very cool, and that of course is

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a product of the fact that the team made that

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>donation in your honor following your return to the team.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So really cool to a so you come back, but

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>be so you get something really positive, positive out of

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>an experience that was pretty negative. It's really inspiring. It's

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>really cool, and I'm really glad that you and the

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>team are going to be able to share that For

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>sharing about that experience as well, I can imagine that

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it's been just like a totally surreal year. We all

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>had to deal with COVID, but then you had to

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>deal with so much more right when we were coming

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 1>out of it, it was yeah, it was it was

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>It was interesting and it was difficult, and uh, you know,

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot a lot of support from not

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>just basketball people, but a lot of basketball people throughout

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the country and certainly friends and family and then also

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you know our sixer's family as well. But uh, yeah,

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not something you think is ever going to happen

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to you. And I think that's why people don't go

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>get tested and get get the detection devices and tests

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>applied to them, because like, a, that's that stuff that

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>happens to other people. And I was certainly was one

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of those people, like that's never gonna happen, and it's

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it just I remember when I got the text and

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>we were in Toronto and like we've found something, and

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what, and then you talk to your doctor,

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>like you immediately call your doctor and then to sit

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>there in that hotel room and you've been on the

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>road plenty, you know how long those hours are from

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>when shoot around is over to when you go to

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the arena. That like, I think I could be a

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>doctor with all the hours if I if I had

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>we'd done some studying and research from the hours of

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>twelve till four thirty in the afternoon on the road

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in the game. But it was the longest three or

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>four hours ever. And so when then we got to

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the arena, the trainer, I grabbed him and we went

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in and Doc and I put our heads together and

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, here's what I know so far. We'll see

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>what happens coming down the pipe. But I can't believe

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>this is happening to me. And you go through it

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and you get through it and come out the other side. Well,

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that it ended up being like a source

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of inspiration to people within the organization

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>people outside of the organization. I'm sure it's not easy

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it and share it. So thank you

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>so much for sharing what you've shared and again applying

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the experience to now make some real actionable help and

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 1>change for folks that are gonna be saved by the

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ability to test early and screen early, as was the

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>case in your life. So thank you so much for

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>sharing it, and thank you for continuing to push to

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>make it easier for others. Absolutely good stuff, Coach Yager.

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for joining me today. Hey, I

0:16:58.120 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>can go on and on. You know we could just

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>do this like two hours. You make it so easy,

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>so I appreciate it very much. Thank you absolutely, Thanks
