I sit down with Jay Fields, founder and Owner of Chance for Hoops and Hope, to hear how he went from being overlooked as a high school athlete to becoming a respected basketball trainer and community leader. Jay opens up about the injury that shifted his path from playing to coaching and the unwavering discipline that helped him build a successful training business in Augusta, Georgia.
Fueled by the “Mamba Mentality,” Jay shares how Kobe Bryant's influence shaped his approach to life and training. We talk about the challenges he’s faced including navigating COVID, launching his own gym, and developing a mobile training app all while training athletes from ages 6 to 30 with a focus on fundamentals and footwork.
Jay also reflects on the mental toll of leadership, his role as head coach of the Butler Bulldogs JV girls’ team, and his vision for expanding his brand and impact beyond the local community. His journey is a powerful example of perseverance, purpose, and staying In TRUE Form no matter the odds.
