In this episode of Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Doman sits down with Angela R. Lewis—former professional basketball player, NCAA coach, author, and operations leader—to explore the powerful intersections of sport, identity, and personal growth. Angela reflects on her journey from scoring more than 1,000 points in college basketball to playing professionally overseas, coaching more than 500 athletes, and becoming a mentor and voice for women in sports. She opens up about the evolving landscape of college athletics, including the impact of NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing pressure on young athletes to define their worth through performance.

Episode Takeaways:

● Confidence fluctuates; belief must remain constant.
● Athletes often struggle with identity outside of sports.
● Playing internationally opens up cultural connections and personal growth.

Angela also previews her upcoming book, Keep Bouncing Forward, a guide to staying grounded and resilient when life knocks you off course. Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or simply navigating life’s transitions, this episode is full of insight, inspiration, and practical wisdom.
