In Episode 18 of the Courtside Culture Podcast, host Jeremy Jeffers sits down with professional hooper Ajay Sandersfor one of the most powerful and transparent conversations we’ve had on the show.
Ajay takes us through his full basketball journey — growing up in North Carolina, grinding his way through JUCO, earning his shot at Coastal Carolina, and eventually playing professionally overseas. He opens up about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the self-belief it took to keep going when the odds were stacked against him.
This episode also dives deep into life off the court:
• Losing his father at a young age
• Battling through adversity as a young man
• Maturing through the game of basketball
• NIL, today’s era of college hoops, and how the landscape has changed
• His mindset as a pro and what keeps him grounded
• His message to young athletes chasing the same dream
Ajay’s story is real, raw, and inspiring — a reminder that everyone’s path is different, and perseverance will always win.
