2. The Confidence Code with Romell Witherspoon

When the ball stops bouncing, who are you?

In this powerful episode, Nick sits down with actor, inspirational speaker, mentor, and Bellevue High School Girls Basketball Head Coach Romell Witherspoon a man whose life work sits at the intersection of leadership, faith, purpose, and community.

From his days as a two-time state champion at Rainier Beach to serving as Team Chaplain and Player Manager for the Los Angeles Lakers during their 2020 championship run, Romell has lived the highs, lows, and quiet in-between spaces of life after sport.

And the lessons? They’re bigger than basketball.

This conversation goes deep into:

What really happens when the scoreboard shuts off and the athlete identity fades

How to rebuild confidence from the inside out — and why no one can give it or take it away

The “Confidence Code” and the mindset tools he uses with high-level athletes and everyday leaders

Why the small, unseen reps will take you farther than talent ever will

How to win the scoreboard in life, not just in the game

The difference between teaching basketball and teaching life through basketball

What it means to be famous in your own home

Romell’s journey, from competing against Washington’s greatest, to acting in New York, to standing in NBA locker rooms with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, to shaping the next generation of leaders in Seattle, is a masterclass in purpose, resilience, and becoming.
