XPS HUB – The Story Behind the Coach is back with a second episode! This time we have invited a great basketball coach Rob Newson who has vast coaching experience from UK, Iceland, Vietnam and Hong Kong where he was working as a Manager of Basketball Operations for NBA Asia.

The second episode carries a title “It’s about the people who play the game, not the game itself.” and as its name says, Rob has been talking a lot about the importance of mindfulness, creativity, self-awareness and many mental aspects of player development. Are you interested in Rob’s views of “Fundamentals of Success” or the 3 key pillars of his coaching philosophy? Make sure you don’t miss the second XPS HUB episode!
