Curious about what it takes to be a pro basketball player? In today’s episode we’re meeting former NBA player and coach, Byron Scott. At 12 years old, Byron knew he wanted to play pro, but he had no idea what it would take to get there. As Byron looks back on his career, we find out how hard work, good routines, dedication and luck, made him a champion. 

Join Emily and Winston for this inspirational sneak peek into the life of this inspirational athlete. And just remember, if you want to get good at something, just keep trying and failing, trying failing, until you get better. Enjoy the ride!
