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.

In Episode 7 of IN THE MAKING, we sit down with Kamar Robertson to talk about his journey through basketball, overcoming obstacles, and what it takes to keep evolving beyond the game.
Kamar was a leading scorer at Cambridge High School before continuing his career at Mercer and Western Carolina, where he continued to make an impact on the court. Now, he’s transitioned from player to coach, bringing the lessons he learned throughout his playing career into the next chapter.
We also talk about Kamar’s approach to coaching, including one of his biggest keys: having fun. From developing players to building confidence and creating an environment where athletes can enjoy the game, Kamar shares what coaching means to him.
He also gives insight into the creation of BELVR, his brand and vision beyond basketball.
