Episode 29 ft. Victor (Vic) Raso The #WeGotUs Podcast

Victor Raso, General Manager & Head Coach of the Niagara River Lions, is built for this life. From growing up under Joe Raso, one of the most revered Canadian Coaches of his generation, to playing under Dave Smart, the mastermind of the dynastic Carleton Ravens Men's Basketball Program. Victor brings the intersection of that breadth of basketball expertise surrounding leadership & teams to each aspect of his professional life (he is also a Project Specialist at Meridian Credit Union). ⁣

⁣

This is one of the most insightful & wide-ranging conversations I've had surrounding basketball with just about anyone in a very long time. Please enjoy!⁣
