Basketball Analyst Clark Kellogg (Replay)

Success is a Choice

March Madness is here and the NCAA college basketball tournament is upon us. We hope you have your brackets filled out. Clark Kellogg will be on our TVs for the next few weeks so we thought this was a great time to re-release one of our most popular episodes. This is a replay of episode #149. Hope you enjoy it! Clark Kellogg is one of the most respected voices covering college basketball today. The CBS Sports analyst was once a top college basketball player at Ohio State University, where he earned All-Big Ten Conference honors and won the Big Ten Most Valuable Player award in 1982. After his junior year at Ohio State, he declared for the 1992 NBA draft and was selected eighth overall in the first round by the Indiana Pacers, and named to the NBA All-Rookie first team in 1983 after averaging 20.1 points and 10.6 rebounds. But his NBA career was cut short after just four seasons due to knee injuries, and he was forced to retire in 1986 at the age of 25. Clark began his broadcasting journey with ESPN in 1990, and in 1993 he moved to CBS Sports, where he has worked since. In March 2010, Kellogg played a game of H.O.R.S.E. against U.S. President Barack Obama. The game, called “P.O.T.U.S.” for the occasion, was won by Obama. In today’s episode, we discuss...

• Playing basketball against President Obama
• What makes up a great leader
• Being the parent of athletes
• Working with Charles Barkley during NCAA Tournament
• How players can use their platform
• ... and so much more!!!
