#192 Jason Cadee: Australian Basketball Player, Four Words From My Coach That Changed How I Led

View descriptionShare
 

Jason Cadee spent 15 years as a professional basketball player, 424 games across the NBL. It nearly ended before it began. At 18, not long after breaking into the Australian senior set-up, he was hit side-on by a semi-trailer at 100km/h on a Sydney freeway and trapped in the wreck for 90 minutes. He came out with a broken pelvis and, somehow, barely a mark on him.

This week we sit down with Jason to get into the crash and what it did and didn't teach him, why becoming a dad landed harder than any near miss, the single piece of leadership advice that changed how he led, and what it actually takes to walk away from the only thing you've ever known and start again. Both his parents played for Australia, so basketball was never optional. Stopping was the hard part.
