Shamar Coombs on Life Journey, Love of the Game + Renewed Passion Culture Conversation

Host Twingq sat down with Former Professional Athlete Shamar Coombs (@coombs33) to discuss his hoop dreams, growing up in Scarborough’s golden era of Basketball, navigating his space as a student-athlete + more. After an illustrious 6 year pro career that started in Kosovo, Coombs led his Columbia Basketball club to its first post-season championship series. Coombs also became a member of the 1000 PT Club, (one of the first international players) to receive that honour. In 2020, the entire sports world was impacted by the global pandemic of Covid-19. Coombs like thousands of athletes were forced to make a significant life decision with the uncertainty of starting a new path post-career. Coombs transitioned into a skills trainer and player development coach for upcoming youth and pros in Toronto. Coombs cultivated “SC TRN” through his newfound passion, which evolved into a Prep Academy “SC Academy”. The SC Prep Academy competes in the Premier Prep League in conjunction with the National Junior Circuit. Coombs played an intricate part in his hometown Scarborough Shooting Stars Championship run, serving as the player development Coach.
