Former Professional Basketball Player and Benilde St. Margaret Great, Armond Battle came on the show to discuss his basketball career and what he is doing now. Starts off with how Pulley and Benilde St. Margaret got him to a D1 program. The exposure the AAU circuit gave him and how those experiences at such a young age unintentionally gave him a big head, which in turn taught him some very difficult lessons. How the anticipation of going to the NBA didn’t have him taking college serious in the academic sector. An achilles and ankle injury at Tulsa altered his future. Which in turn some poor decisions caused his dismissal with the team. His JUCO journey, that led him to Wright State over Old Dominion. His professional career overseas. And how becoming a father made him realize that playing professional basketball was no longer his dream. Maturing through all those tribulations to now successfully running his own financial company BOW Family Holdings and being a family man. A must listen!
