In this episode of In The Making, I sit down with my guy Champ Barlow, someone I’ve known for over 12 years, to talk about the road to becoming a professional athlete and trainer — and the side of that journey that nobody really talks about.

Champ has built his career around basketball, player development, and helping athletes reach their potential through his business, 3P Athletics. We dive into what it really takes to pursue a career as a professional athlete, the work that happens behind the scenes, and the challenges that come with trying to make it at the highest level.

We also talk about the journey of becoming a professional trainer — from developing your own approach and building relationships with athletes to creating a business and establishing yourself in the industry.

This conversation goes beyond the highlight reels and success stories. We talk about the work, sacrifices, setbacks, consistency, and mindset required to turn a passion for sports into a career.

Whether you’re an aspiring professional athlete, trainer, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build something of your own, there’s something in this conversation for you.

In The Making Ep. 8 — The Road to Becoming a Pro Athlete & Trainer Nobody Talks About.
