21 Talks with Entrepreneur and High School Basketball Coach, John Anderson

On this segment of 21, spend time with John Anderson. John is the Head Basketball Coach for Scottsdale Christian Academy, and one of Drew’s former teammates.

John played high school basketball at Scottdale Christian (where he now coaches), and his success as a player afforded him the opportunity to attend Pointe Loma Nazarene University (PLNU).

At PNLU, John dedicated the time needed as an underclassman to evolve his game; he went into ‘the lab.’ This intense focus and dedication led to him becoming the school’s all-time block leader, with 241 blocks!

Post college, John followed in the family tradition by becoming an entrepreneur and starting his career a coach. Family has always been at the core of John’s ‘why.’ Throughout his life, John has been blessed to have a strong support system from his family, which extended to his teammates. Today, John calls his players his family, and he still considers many of his former teammates his brothers. John’s wife and children are his greatest priority…and he beams with pride as he talks about his wife’s talent as a photographer!

Listen as John provides sage advice and lessons learned from the various season of his life, with humility and a quiet sense of humor.

And of course, John shares a hilarious ‘Drew Story’. Another reminder, 21 listeners, that Drew, oceans, and beaches may not be an ideal mix.
