The Tyren Johnson Show Tyren

Sean Jamel McCaw is an American-Austrian former professional basketball player and coach. His professional playing career spanned from 1995 to 2008 and his coaching career spanned from 2008 to 2016. McCaw's career took him to Austria, France, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. During his college career in the United States, McCaw was named the 1995 American West Conference Player of the Year.

He is also an author, having written Same Name Different Game: Your Guide For A Successful European Rookie Season.

Finally, he's also a mentor helping players play internationally.  His primary goal is to help basketball players to achieve their aspirations of playing professional basketball overseas. Whether it be through Mentoring, 1 on 1 consultations, through his book SAME NAME DIFFERENT GAME, or by interviewing interesting people from the basketball world with his podcast THE EUROSTEP.

The transfer portal has changed the landscape of college sports.  I love it, and I'm also worried.  Everything has its pros and cons.  As a player, I didn't have the freedom to transfer. I had to sit on the bench and hope an opportunity presented itself.  In this video, I discussed the valuable lessons I learned from being on the bench for three years.  Check out the video and let me know what you think.  Do you think we're creating a generation of athletes who don't know how to fight through adversity?  Or do you think if the situation ain't ideal, automatically leave?

In this episode, I talk about why I prefer to train alone.  I started training alone when I was a kid.  It wasn’t t a choice I made I just was the kid that nobody took serious so I had to find a way.

This continued even when I was in college.  We had all the resources in the world, but I was always the player who couldn’t get a rebounder or couldn’t get a coach to pour into me truly.  So, I had to figure it out by studying and breaking down a ton of film.  

I don’t like people in my training sessions if we’re not on the same wavelengths.  Working with trainers from the teams I sign up for is one of my biggest struggles.

I’ve learned how to train myself and heal myself in case of injury so that I’m not dependent on anyone at any time.

If you can please share it with someone that needs to hear it.  I always say tell a friend to tell a friend.  I’m trying to get this message as far as I can get it.  I wish I had someone like me when I first had thoughts of becoming a professional basketball player. 

And BY THE WAY:
My first book that I’ve ever written is available. It’s called How To Makempay and It’s a guide how I went from being cut twice in high school to being an international pro.  It was more of a system than talent. 

Within its pages, you'll discover the formula I used to get seen.
