Troy Horne was a professional Broadway Musician and a touring musician. However, he is now a basketball parent! But he knew nothing about the sport of basketball before having a kid who loved the game.
Like many basketball parents, Troy did everything that he could to help his young athlete, but couldn't find a great resource. That was until he discovered Jim Huber during one of their interviews on his basketball podcast show. Out of the hundreds of big names in the basketball coaching and training industry that Troy interviewed, Jim stood at the top!
Troy co-hosts with Jim and offers a parent’s perspective as you go through the course.
