- 0:33Speaker 1: platform where you guys do is amazing. So to come
- 0:35Speaker 1: three times it's so. I'm a little tired. Last night
- 0:38Speaker 1: I won a little drive, went to my old apartments
- 0:41Speaker 1: just to like, you know, kind of like celebrate where
- 0:44Speaker 1: I'm at right now, and uh yeah, I'm just thankful
- 0:47Speaker 1: in the moment.
- 0:47Speaker 3: What's important?
- 0:48Speaker 2: Why'd you decide to do that? Why you wanted to
- 0:49Speaker 2: go back? Most people go forward? Why do you want
- 0:52Speaker 2: to go back and see where you so?
- 0:53Speaker 1: You know, going on the breakfast club is cool for
- 0:55Speaker 1: the third time. So I'm like, Okay, I'm literally going
- 0:57Speaker 1: to drive to one or sixth and Columbus. Then I
- 1:00Speaker 1: drove to I lived in Cliffside Park, and then so
- 1:05Speaker 1: I drove to all these just I do that just
- 1:07Speaker 1: sometimes when I feel like I might be losing motivation,
- 1:11Speaker 1: just to get that back. And then also sometimes it's
- 1:13Speaker 1: in celebration mode type thing. Yeah.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Now, for people that don't know who you are, You're
- 1:18Speaker 2: an NBA trainer. You play basketball for Louisville. Yeah, and
- 1:21Speaker 2: what got you into training basketball? Why do people feel
- 1:24Speaker 2: like you are the trainer that they should work with
- 1:26Speaker 2: because you work. We've seen you work with people like
- 1:28Speaker 2: of course Mellow, We've seen you work with Lebron, We've
- 1:30Speaker 2: seen you work with Hard and Westbrook, just to name
- 1:33Speaker 2: a few. So why are you the person that people
- 1:35Speaker 2: say I got to train with Chris Man.
- 1:37Speaker 1: That's a great question. I thank God every day. I
- 1:41Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, I'm a good person.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I study my craft and the players know I care.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And also I'd be dumb not to say luck comes
- 1:50Speaker 1: with anything anyone really successful. Some type of luck needs
- 1:54Speaker 1: to come wrong the way.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Yeah, So how much of a player development is mental
- 2:02Speaker 4: versus physical?
- 2:03Speaker 1: That's a great question. There's so many players that if
- 2:07Speaker 1: you watch the workout, they wouldn't miss a shot, and
- 2:09Speaker 1: you bet they should be in the NBA. They play
- 2:11Speaker 1: in Euros because when the game comes, they just become
- 2:14Speaker 1: like a mental midget, Like they miss a shot, then
- 2:17Speaker 1: they just pack it in. So yeah, the mental aspect
- 2:20Speaker 1: is huge. So, like my job is a I'm a trainer,
- 2:23Speaker 1: teaching players how to play, but then also teaching players
- 2:27Speaker 1: like don't get too down, hold yourself accountable, a lot
- 2:31Speaker 1: of mental stuff. Yeah, part of it huge, huge.
- 2:34Speaker 5: So aside of mental, what else do you look at
- 2:36Speaker 5: with a player when you're like, okay this. Players want
- 2:37Speaker 5: to be a star.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's two ways that go about it. So
- 2:40Speaker 1: sometimes else I'll work with a player and he's already
- 2:42Speaker 1: all star. So in those aspects, they still want to
- 2:45Speaker 1: get better, but they'll be like studying my game, try
- 2:48Speaker 1: and figure out what I need to get better at.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I'll tell him what I think and then we'll attack it.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Then you have situations like Donovan Mitchell. So I started
- 2:56Speaker 1: working with Donovan Mitchell, he had like seven hundred followers.
- 2:58Speaker 1: On Instagram. He was like eleventh grade. Now he's an
- 3:01Speaker 1: NBA superstar. So they're like to do that and see
- 3:04Speaker 1: that it's super dope. I did that with Kayane Anthony,
- 3:06Speaker 1: Cole Anthony and recently Sierra Future Junior. He's eleven years old.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hits me up and he's like, yo, I
- 3:14Speaker 1: want you to do what you did Kayenne Cole Donovan
- 3:19Speaker 1: to my son. So he's been in the gym.
- 3:21Speaker 2: But let me ask you, what when you like a
- 3:23Speaker 2: play like Lebron right, who's probably one of the best
- 3:27Speaker 2: players ever one off right, what do you train him
- 3:31Speaker 2: to make him better?
- 3:31Speaker 1: Like?
- 3:32Speaker 2: What can make him better?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Like when I'm saying what makes you like he's the goat?
- 3:36Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right. It's like, so a he can
- 3:40Speaker 1: get better at things, like even great players always have
- 3:43Speaker 1: some flaws in the game. Once we started working, Lebron
- 3:46Speaker 1: was like, all right, I want you to watch film tonight,
- 3:48Speaker 1: come over to the workout tomorrow and tell me two
- 3:49Speaker 1: things that I need to get better at. So this
- 3:52Speaker 1: is like nerve wracking going on, Lebron.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Don't you want to test?
- 3:54Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 3:54Speaker 1: He did, and so I gave him two things. He
- 3:57Speaker 1: liked him, and uh, yeah, so that does all always weaknesses.
- 4:01Speaker 1: There's always weaknesses, even the greats.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Now you call Lebron the goat, people will be like,
- 4:05Speaker 2: Lebron's not the goat.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Jordan is the goat too.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Why do you have Lebron as your goat?
- 4:10Speaker 1: Man? He scored the most points in NBA history. That's
- 4:15Speaker 1: just the fact he holds so many records, I mean
- 4:17Speaker 1: effect doing it in this era with the social media
- 4:20Speaker 1: and all that, all the hate, it's just a lot
- 4:22Speaker 1: what he's going through. He's won team championships with three teams.
- 4:25Speaker 1: His his brand is Giant, so it was Jordan's but
- 4:29Speaker 1: now I'm team Lebron all day.
- 4:31Speaker 6: How do you feel when people be coming for Bronni?
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's messed up. We can swear on this, right, Yeah,
- 4:38Speaker 1: it's fucked up because the end of the day, he
- 4:40Speaker 1: didn't choose to be Lebron's son. Like he he's a
- 4:45Speaker 1: great He's literally like a great kid. And uh, you
- 4:49Speaker 1: could tell, you know, it's a little it's a sore
- 4:52Speaker 1: spot for the family. I wouldn't want to someone messing
- 4:54Speaker 1: with my kid, and none of none of you guys would.
- 4:56Speaker 1: But Bronni's actually really good. I think that. I I
- 5:00Speaker 1: think he's just gonna peak like in a year or two.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Do you think he should bring in the league because
- 5:05Speaker 2: that's your training.
- 5:06Speaker 1: For sure, because people don't understand before his freshman year
- 5:10Speaker 1: he had that hard stuff, like I think he had
- 5:13Speaker 1: the guest was this seizure or he passed out something
- 5:16Speaker 1: major couldn't so he could played like half the season.
- 5:20Speaker 1: So yeah, he's an NBA player.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Yeah, what what made you pivot to being a trainer,
- 5:26Speaker 4: right rather than still in a career of being a player.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously I wanted the NBA player, but I
- 5:32Speaker 1: wasn't good enough, so I couldn't. I couldn't. Yeah, some
- 5:39Speaker 1: of the best, so I made the most him. So
- 5:41Speaker 1: I grew up in New Hampshire. You know, I still
- 5:43Speaker 1: hold the record many records there. Played at Louisville. Had
- 5:46Speaker 1: two NBA guys in front of me, and yeah, I
- 5:49Speaker 1: could have gone overseas, but I was like, I played
- 5:52Speaker 1: for Rick Patino and then my two mentors at Rick
- 5:55Speaker 1: Patino and Phil Jackson was actually on the shirt two
- 5:58Speaker 1: of the greatest coaches to ever do it. And so
- 6:01Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, if I have the opportunity to know
- 6:03Speaker 1: these guys, let's attack this coaching thing. So I did
- 6:06Speaker 1: the coaching thing, Like now it's not for me, So
- 6:08Speaker 1: then I started training thing.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Who was the first player that believed in you as
- 6:12Speaker 2: a trader, said Jerr Smith.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That's one of some of my close friends. My first
- 6:18Speaker 1: year when I was with the Knicks, I was making
- 6:19Speaker 1: three hundred dollars a week. He let me stay in
- 6:22Speaker 1: his and his coach, so I stayed on Jr's couch
- 6:25Speaker 1: for the whole year. Shout out to JR. For that
- 6:26Speaker 1: hand to do that. Yeah, JR Is a good guy.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Did you see recently Don Sale was talking about she
- 6:32Speaker 5: interviewed to be the coach of the Knicks.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about that? I mean, I
- 6:36Speaker 1: think it's fire. You know.
- 6:39Speaker 5: I don't know if I feel like they would have
- 6:41Speaker 5: known how to protect her and the way she might
- 6:43Speaker 5: have needed. They would have came right. Everything I would
- 6:45Speaker 5: have came her way, and I would have hated to
- 6:46Speaker 5: have seen that. But I don't know much about sports.
- 6:48Speaker 5: I just know it's like being a black woman.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. I actually I wanted to get
- 6:52Speaker 1: the job. I think soon enough there'll be a coach
- 6:56Speaker 1: in the NBA it's a girl coach there, yeah, girl refs.
- 6:59Speaker 1: It's kind of funny and the players yelling at the
- 7:01Speaker 1: but uh yeah, no, I think it's coming soon for sure.
- 7:04Speaker 6: What's the most slept on player in NBA right now?
- 7:07Speaker 1: Slept on right now in the league, So like there's levels,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I guess, but I would say tie Jerome, Ti Jerome. Yeah,
- 7:15Speaker 1: he's like another kid. I guess I'm being biased. I've
- 7:17Speaker 1: worked to them since like eighth grade and just to
- 7:20Speaker 1: see that, there's no better feeling working with the kid
- 7:23Speaker 1: and watching him like achieve his dreams.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Have you ever trained somebody that you knew they was
- 7:28Speaker 4: just gonna be trash after you even after that?
- 7:32Speaker 1: Maybe if I do like favorite workouts, like but like
- 7:35Speaker 1: for like someone's some celebrity son, you know, Clue. Clue
- 7:41Speaker 1: is overly confident. He's like delusionally confident. But so he
- 7:45Speaker 1: has but to be a good Clue that is so funny.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So to be a good shooter, you need to be
- 7:51Speaker 1: delusionally confident. But he's he's just not a great shooter yet.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Talking about.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Clo plays basketball? Who takes basketball?
- 8:02Speaker 1: I do these rapper runs and it will be like
- 8:04Speaker 1: Drake Quavo Bieber and who's there? He's there?
- 8:08Speaker 2: Okay, no, no, clue plays well for real, like he
- 8:11Speaker 2: comes like, yes.
- 8:12Speaker 3: I know his outf all the time.
- 8:14Speaker 2: What are you thinking about his junk shot he throws
- 8:16Speaker 2: like from the it goes in though, so.
- 8:18Speaker 1: You can guys get that, and he's probably get mad
- 8:20Speaker 1: at me for what I've said to it. He's a
- 8:22Speaker 1: good guy.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I want to ask you know, when you train these
- 8:25Speaker 2: players and you look at somebody like Lebron or you
- 8:27Speaker 2: look at somebody like Chris Paul that that are, you know,
- 8:31Speaker 2: forty year old, but they still play good ball. Why
- 8:34Speaker 2: do you think they're able to play so good at
- 8:37Speaker 2: this age where a lot of players at the age
- 8:39Speaker 2: of thirty two got to tap out? Is it the training?
- 8:42Speaker 2: Is it their body in shape or is it their
- 8:44Speaker 2: IQ when it comes to basketball.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Just the way their approach Like so Lebron will do
- 8:48Speaker 1: it eight am workout, He shows up at six am
- 8:51Speaker 1: every single time. Say we've worked out twenty times, tename workout,
- 8:54Speaker 1: he shows up at eight am like he's just like prepared.
- 8:58Speaker 1: And I think these guys, I think the ones that
- 9:01Speaker 1: make it so to take ten years, super hard to
- 9:04Speaker 1: make it past ten years to do that, you got
- 9:06Speaker 1: to sacrifice sometimes, your family time. You got to sacrifice
- 9:10Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, it's tough.
- 9:12Speaker 4: You got this new shoe coming out. You ain't coming
- 9:15Speaker 4: here with no sneakers.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Na, So you guys know, you guys got so Ben's
- 9:21Speaker 1: also that's dope. Yeah, Mercedes, so she uh, you know
- 9:25Speaker 1: that when I was at FDU, I was the youngest
- 9:29Speaker 1: Vision one assistant. She was a coach, you know, she coached.
- 9:32Speaker 2: I met us she was coaching and she was coaching
- 9:35Speaker 2: against my son. Okay, and that's how we actually met.
- 9:38Speaker 2: And then she started coaching my son.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:40Speaker 2: And she coached a bunch of players actually to made
- 9:42Speaker 2: them to the league.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, sure. So she gave me all your guys sizes,

- 9:58Speaker 6: Did you design him? Yourself?
- 10:00Speaker 1: Designed them everything? So the leather it's leather and Swede,

- 10:08Speaker 1: Puma shoe, and I was like, ah, it's dope. You
- 10:11Speaker 1: guys know what brown street signs me in New York City? No,
- 10:15Speaker 1: so you know mostlim of green, so brown one means
- 10:17Speaker 1: like an historical landmark. So I did brown. So the
- 10:20Speaker 1: whole thing is like a old to New York City.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Nineteen forty eight is when Puma started, like legacy and
- 10:27Speaker 1: then street signs. But I did the street signs like
- 10:29Speaker 1: the names of my gym, certain things that mean something
- 10:32Speaker 1: to me. So yeah, I hope they do well. I
- 10:34Speaker 1: got the one on six in Columbus Deli menu, you know,
- 10:38Speaker 1: in the So it's like little dope things like my
- 10:41Speaker 1: photographer took this from my from my crib. This is
- 10:44Speaker 1: like my view shot the next subject, so you know.
- 10:47Speaker 2: And how did you get to how did you link
- 10:49Speaker 2: up with Puma?
- 10:50Speaker 1: So man when we first started, So no trainers ever
- 10:54Speaker 1: signed a sneakerdale, like a real sneaker deal, like an
- 10:57Speaker 1: NBA player sneaker deal.
- 10:58Speaker 6: I've never heard of a trainer even getting a sneak
- 11:00Speaker 6: and it's crazy. It's like a trainer influencer.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that influence a word, but no, I
- 11:06Speaker 1: guess you could say that for sure, but so we
- 11:09Speaker 1: I seen someone wearing Rudy Gaye was wearing Pumas. I
- 11:12Speaker 1: sent my manager, but we need to get this done.
- 11:15Speaker 1: We end up getting it done. So then two years
- 11:17Speaker 1: into it, asked them for a sneaker. They're like, no,
- 11:19Speaker 1: I remember being on the flight to alex like, yo,
- 11:22Speaker 1: I gotta work harder. Like next year, got a sneaker.
- 11:25Speaker 1: First sneaker sold out first day, and I'm like, damn,
- 11:28Speaker 1: I didn't even think people. Second sneaker sold out first day,
- 11:32Speaker 1: foot Locker, Dick Sporting Goods over the world. Now this
- 11:35Speaker 1: is the third one, and you know, I'm hoping it
- 11:38Speaker 1: just does good helping ourselves up.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Man, it's dope.
- 11:40Speaker 4: I heard you say earlier that you like to go
- 11:43Speaker 4: back to some of the places that you live when
- 11:45Speaker 4: you feel if you're not motivated or you want to
- 11:47Speaker 4: celebrate what about what you do? Yeah, get you in
- 11:52Speaker 4: a rupt where you're not motivated.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Sometimes, man, just uh, I feel like I'm giving all
- 11:57Speaker 1: my energy right. I feel like, so they have seven
- 12:00Speaker 1: workouts today, every seventh player that comes in, all seven players,
- 12:04Speaker 1: they want the full Chris Brickley. So I felt like
- 12:07Speaker 1: seven PM comes and like my brain is done. And
- 12:10Speaker 1: sometimes that affects my personal life, like I'm not giving
- 12:13Speaker 1: my girlfriend the energy she needs, or I'm not giving
- 12:15Speaker 1: my family I have I have a big family, or
- 12:19Speaker 1: maybe I'm it just and I know you guys know
- 12:22Speaker 1: how that that how that works. But so just any job.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And then sometimes the players, one superstar player might not
- 12:30Speaker 1: like it if I'm marking another superstar player out. So
- 12:32Speaker 1: keeping the politics and all that.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you surprised by your fame sometimes because I know
- 12:37Speaker 2: you came to the car show last week and it
- 12:38Speaker 2: was like people were taking pictures with you like crazy,
- 12:40Speaker 2: like it would like almost.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Surprising to you.
- 12:44Speaker 1: My boy next so he's seen it all. He was
- 12:46Speaker 1: when no one knew me he was there, so shout out.
- 12:50Speaker 1: The next he was with me at the at the
- 12:52Speaker 1: car show. So you know, I'm looking at the BMW's
- 12:54Speaker 1: first off your car shows fire, thank you. I'm gonna
- 12:57Speaker 1: go back. And I was just trying to, you know,
- 13:00Speaker 1: take pictures and then you know, one dude's like, yo,

- 13:06Speaker 1: dude's like we take a picture. And there was just
- 13:07Speaker 1: like six people right away, and I was just like
- 13:09Speaker 1: it's it's amazing right to have that, but just sometimes,
- 13:14Speaker 1: like where I live, it's an issue. I have to
- 13:18Speaker 1: promote where my gym is and where I live, so
- 13:20Speaker 1: as people waiting outside that want to propose stuff, and
- 13:25Speaker 1: it's just like, uh, I want some privacy.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Yeah yeah. I started feeling like your car show were not.
- 13:34Speaker 1: But it was dope though, Oh thank you.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I want to ask, you know when it when it
- 13:38Speaker 2: comes to these trainers and they seek you out, do
- 13:42Speaker 2: these people pay you? Like does Lebron cut you a
- 13:44Speaker 2: check for training or does these people You'd be like,
- 13:46Speaker 2: n I'll train Lebron for free.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Yeah no, so they'll all pay. Everyone I trained pays
- 13:53Speaker 1: but I let it. I like leave it up to them,
- 13:55Speaker 1: especially like the superstar players. I know I'm getting some
- 13:58Speaker 1: out of it, so I'm like, whatever you think that
- 14:01Speaker 1: you pay me. Now the young guys, I feel like

- 14:29Speaker 1: Was it fifteen thousand dollars to train with me? But
- 14:31Speaker 1: as far as like how much I charge someone, so
- 14:35Speaker 1: usually it would be like I won't be in a
- 14:36Speaker 1: good mood. I'm tired, someone asked me to train and
- 14:39Speaker 1: I just give some crazy number, thinking I say no
- 14:41Speaker 1: because you.
