Sat down with my friend and brother Cam Joyce Head Basketball Coach for St. Ignatius Wildcats in Cleveland for this weeks episode of LYP. Coming off his first state championship win as a coach, we spoke about how his first few years came with winning, but still short of their ultimate goal of a championship. Those early successes and failures helped them build a culture and foundation that propelled them win it all last season.
Cam spoke about his experience being an understudy to his both his father Coach Dru Joyce and his older brother Dru, and being a kid 20 years ago as a ball boy for those St. Vincent St. Mary teams that featured LeBron James, Romeo Travis, Willie McGee and Sian Cotton.
We also talked about what it was like being the first person in our friend group to get married at 25, and recognizing today, he didn’t always know what it took to be married.
This was an episode of 20+ year of friendship on display between boys who now are fathers and husbands.
Enjoy the episode ✌🏾🌱
