Pour ce nouvel épisode, j'accueille Pierre Morin,qui a été soccer player dans la même université que moi, Caroline du sud. Alors que je n’avais que 17 ans à mon arrivée aux US , Pierre était comme un grand frère pour moi, et je suis super heureuse de m’être replongée dans ces années avec lui.

Depuis la coupe du monde 1998, il a fait du football sa vocation. Évoluant en sport étude puis en centre de formation, Pierre a joué en National avant de partir aux USA, une expérience qui a complètement changé sa vision de la vie. D’ailleurs, il n’est à ce jour pas encore rentré en France.

Dans cet épisode, Pierre vous raconte différentes anecdotes et clash culturel qu’il a vécu mais aussi les grandes leçons de vie qu’il a tiré de son expérience d’athlète.

Quel impact le sport universitaire a eu sur le reste de son parcours ? et où en est-il aujourd’hui ?

Je vous laisse rejoindre ma discussion avec Pierre.

And what did she do to make the most out of an opportunity? A fantastic student who once looked at a high school list of clubs, activities, and sports decided to try new things because they looked and sounded like fun. Her decisions led her to a new sport, joining a standout club and an opportunity to travel the world and literally help improve and study global health. Her advice is to get involved and say yes. And her energy and love for life and serving people are contagious and fulfilling. Grace compares the different divisions for athletics, and different sizes of schools and reminds us all,  “It’s ok to not know everything yet.” Relatable has a great perspective, heartwarming and she’s just plain fun.

Jermel met Michael Byrd when he was a sophomore at Porter Gaud High School. Mike was in the first group of student-athletes who went through Jermel's Oatmeal Recipe program. Jermel worked closely with Mike and his parents to assist them in developing a plan to help Mike succeed at the next level.

Mike was able to secure a scholarship to Erskine College. Today, Mike is doing great things in the medical industry especially where it comes to student-athletes.

In this episode of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast, Michael Byrd shares his stories, trials and tribulations during his time as a student-athlete. Tune in!

Mike's bio: "I grew up in Charleston and attended Porter-Gaud School. I started  training with Jermel in high school and also played for Team DAE for my AAU basketball. Training with Jermel and following his Oatmeal Recipe expedited my development as a basketball player and enabled me to compete at the NCAA Division II Level at Erskine College (Due West, SC). For my academic work in college, I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry and maintained a 3.98 GPA graduating Summa Cum Laude.

My proudest accomplishments include being named a Conference Carolina’s Murphy Osborne Outstanding Scholar-Athlete Finalist and being the first basketball player in Erskine College history to graduate valedictorian. I recently earned my M.D. degree from the Medical University of South Carolina and have started my residency in Internal Medicine.  I have specific interest in preventing and treating musculoskeletal injuries in all patient populations including athletes."

Dad, Jay, and student-athlete, Tyler, return in Season 02 to share their stories. Tyler is from Summerville, South Carolina and earned a scholarship to Duke University. In Season 01 of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast, Tyler was a senior in high school and now he's a freshman at Duke.

Our audience can learn a lot from Tyler Christmas about the trials and tribulations a freshman collegiate athlete goes through. In high school, you have a structured schedule you simply have to stick to. But in college, you get to create your own schedule. You have to have the determination and drive within yourself to get up early to workout and stay up late to study.

Tyler shares that he feels bad for the students who didn't get up at 6 am in high school to work out like he did. Now they are struggling trying to adjust to long days and grueling workouts. Tyler's dad, Jay, better prepared him for the life of an athlete as most parents don't realize how much work it takes to succeed at the next level.

Parents can learn a lot from Jay Christmas. He shares his strategies to help kids get motivated on days/weeks/months they don't want to work hard. Sometimes during adverse situations kids don't want get up early, or work out or compete. Hear from a student-athlete and their parent about, not only how to get to the next level, but how to succeed at that level and find continued success.

Ricky has been able to use his music and his personality to become a brand ambassador for the Mike Hostilo Law Firm.

Now that Jermel President and the DAE Foundation are partnering with the Mike Hostilo Law Firm, we are sharing Mike's podcast episode again. You can hear one of Jermel and Mike's earliest conversations right here on the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast! We had no idea at the time such great things would come from our meeting, but we aren't surprised given the importance COMMUNITY plays in both our lives.

Mike moved to Beaufort, South Carolina in the 7th grade. Mike's dad is a marine and Mike grew up in Laurel Bay Military Housing.

"In military communities, it was really important for the parents and the kids to be involved in youth sports."  Just like us, you've probably seen commercials for the Mike Hostilo Law Firm around town. But did you know, Mike was a student-athlete in high school.  Attorney Mike Hostilo is an excellent example of a former student-athlete pivoting into an extremely successful career off the field.

The PIVOT is a power position in basketball. If you're in the pivot, you're in the 3RIPLE 3HREAT. You have three choices: pass, dribble or shoot. In basketball, you have seconds to make this position. In life, you have a little more time to come to a decision.

Most middle and high school student-athletes do not go on to become professional athletes. Listen to Mike Hostilo's story to learn when he pivoted from athletic dreams to professional dreams and how he utilized the skills he learned on the field to grow a successful law firm.

In 2022, the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast is going in a different direction with a focus on psychology. For example, this year we will have guests on the podcast discussing mental health when it comes to the student-athlete. With professional athletes like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka opening up about their mental health struggles, it’s time we bring this issue down to the middle and high school levels.

RJ Slawson is one of the great success stories from our area. We had to get him on the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast to educate student-athletes of today through RJ’s great wealth of knowledge.

RJ did a lot of damage in the Charleston area playing high school basketball. He went on to play for the University of South Carolina and transferred to Jacksonville University.

In this episode, Jermel and RJ speak about being a great athlete, a great student and a great person. RJ shared about what it takes to be a successful student athlete including punctuality and hard work. These lessons learned while playing a sport in high school and college will benefit you greatly in your career after sports. Tune in!

Back for another round! Natasja Visser joins the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast for a second time. In the first season, Natasja joined us to speak about sex, sports and youth. We talked about those tough conversations parents need to have with their student-athletes.

In this episode, we speak about student-athletes' mental health, different triggers and things that interrupt students' behavior when they are heading in the wrong direction.

We appreciate Natasja for coming on the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast and sharing her wealth of knowledge with our listeners!

Our featured guest on Season 02, Episode 09 of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast is Cyrus Alexander.

Cy Alexander is among the most respected basketball coaches in the country, known not only for his successes on the court but also for his involvement and participation in basketball matters away from the hardwood.

Coach Cy Alexander was a great part of basketball history in the state of South Carolina. On this episode, Jermel and Cy have a great conversation about what he got out of the different schools he coached including Howard, South Carolina State, Tennessee State and NC A&T. He learned something from the community, the players and the assistant coaches at every school.

Steve was a great STUDENT-athlete. While most athletes transfer schools due to a lack of playing time or coaching styles, Steve transfered because of EDUCATION. In Steve's point of view, he thought education was more important than athletics which is very true!

Steve grew up in a home filled with aunts and uncles. He was the last one to receive anything from food to clothes.

His uncles took him to the park at 6, 7 and 8 years old. They played basketball with him and treated him like an adult. He had to earn the right to shoot the ball.

“That hunger and that edge was instilled in me just because I was last. I didn’t want to be last forever.”

Tune into this episode of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast to hear Steve Harris share about athletics, education and making sacrifices.

Teammate Basketball offers a space where athletes can perfect their game in the off season and get some exposure at the same time.

Jamal Brown is a local talent having grown up playing in the North Charleston Recreation Department. When Jermel asked Coach Brown who influenced him, many young student-athletes can relate to his answer:

“My biggest influences were my grandmother and my mother. They laid my foundation. My grandmother laid the foundation of faith into me… My mother gave me a foundation of hard work.”

Hear more from Coach Brown about his high school and college student-athlete life and that pivot into over 20 years of collegiate coaching.

Obviously, Monte's experience in the athletic world has molded the way he coaches. For example, "I’ve used that experience from my recruiting in recruiting kids in my 20+ years coaching. Who wants you the most? It’s not necessarily the school or the program. It’s the coach that’s recruiting you. Are they recruiting you harder than everybody else because they really want you to come play for them? They’re probably going to give you the best opportunity."
