On Episode 53 of The Grant O Show, we sit down with Shavon Coleman, a South Louisiana native whose basketball journey has taken him from LSU’s PMAC to professional leagues overseas, and now back to Thibodaux High School as a coach and mentor.
Shavon shares what it was like to wear the purple and gold in the SEC, the cultural lessons and challenges of playing pro ball internationally, and the meaningful return to his roots to inspire and guide the next generation of student-athletes.
🔑 Topics covered include:
Life as a student-athlete in the SEC
Adapting to new cultures while playing basketball internationally
Daily routines of a pro athlete
What it’s like coaching in your hometown
Lessons that transcend the court
Giving back to the community through mentorship
Whether you're a basketball fan, an aspiring athlete, or someone who believes in the power of giving back, Shavon's story is one of resilience, growth, and purpose.
