Chima Moneke: From Nigeria to the NBA and Beyond

Chima Moneke - Power Forward for Saska Baskonia of the Euroleauge - joins us for the 28th episode of MTN. As a podcast, we have pursued interviews with people (mostly coaches) who are seeking to root out the truths of high performance. However, in that pursuit, we want to also hear from those who are high performers (in this case, Chima) to understand performance from multiple angles. On today's episode, we talk through Chima's journey in basketball, playing for the Sacramento Kings and guarding his childhood star - Lebron James, the comparisons of Euroleague and the NBA, and we get into a little bit of training talk as well. How his experiences have shaped how he prefers to train & what keeps him feeling ready to play Make sure you follow Chima on social media @chimdoggg Find us on social media @mtn_perform and check back each Wednesday for a new episode Big Thanks to our Sponsor, Lumin Sports: Lumin Sports is your digital HQ for athletic performance.
