What happens when a kid has every excuse to fail and chooses not to? Derek Anderson grew up without parents, raised himself in Louisville project housing, and became a dad at 15. He still made it to Kentucky, the NBA, and a world championship. In this conversation with Greg Olsen, Derek shares why he requires parents to attend his practices, how coaches are the first business leaders kids ever meet, and what he's seen working as a mental health counselor with NBA players through the Players Association. Whether you're a parent, coach, or just someone who cares about the next generation, this one is worth your time.
