150. Utah Jazz Forward George Niang on Embracing Your Role & Building Resilience

In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, we sit down with Utah Jazz forward George Niang—a seasoned NBA veteran whose journey from Iowa State star to ten-year pro is packed with lessons every athlete should hear. George opens up about the emotional side of being traded, how to embrace your role without losing your identity, and why simply showing up every day gives you an edge over most. He shares stories from locker rooms with NBA superstars like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green—and what their work ethic taught him about staying ready. We dive into core E4A principles like Win the Hour, Be Resilient, and Compete Without Contempt, as George shares powerful insights on: • Why work ethic is a competitive advantage • Balancing humility with hunger • The importance of being coachable and consistent • How a simple high-five or kind word can change someone's life • And how to use your SportLight to lift others This conversation is loaded with wisdom, humor, and heart—and it's a must-listen for athletes, coaches, and parents alike. 🎧 Listen now, share with a teammate, and remember to keep your eyes up and do the work. #### Especially for Athletes: • Website: https://e4a.org • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EspeciallyForAthletes/ • X: https://x.com/E4Afamily • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/especiallyforathletes/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmbWc7diAvstLMfjBL-bMMQ Join the conversation using #TheSportlightPodcast #### Credits: Hosted by Dustin Smith & Shad Martin Produced by Shad Martin and IMAGINATE STUDIO
