    Javin DeLaurier: Duke Basketball, Pro Hoops, March Madness

    Former Duke Blue Devils forward Javin Delaurier joins Ben Rekosh on a pre-March Madness episode of Unique Pathways to chat about his journey that started in the Central Virginia are and led him to the NBA. Delaurier graduated from the St. Anne’s Belfield school and once held a number of program records for the Saints; after a growth spurt in high school, his stock quickly began to rise and the big man became a highly-touted, highly-ranked prospect. Ultimately choosing to head to Duke University and play under the coaching of Mike Krzyzewski, Delaurier was a productive player on multiple ACC championship teams and got the opportunity to play with a variety of successful NBA players – he was able to speak on his relationship with those players and how Coach K impacted him as a player and as a person. The Duke team in 2020 was poised to make another run in March Madnes before their season got cut short, and Delaurier was able to share some of that perspective fighting through the pandemic. Through that process he tested the waters for the NBA Draft but got feedback that led him to return to college. He went on to play in the G League in the ensuing seasons and had a brief stint up with the Milwaukee Bucks, which is touched on in this conversation. Delaurier has played overseas for the past few years, and has stories from that perspective now recovering from an injury. On the heels of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, he gives thought to what makes this event such an annual global phenomenon.  Thank you for tuning in - please consider leaving a comment & review!

    Kyle Bogese: MLB Journey, Facing Adversity, Baseball Training

    H3 is thrilled to welcome friend-of-the-show Kyle Bogese onto Unique Pathways to join Ben Rekosh in discussing a plethora of topics. Kyle founded and owns The Backyard Baseball Lab in Richmond, which holds a lot of the same values that makes H3 great in growing the game for all people; he has also been able to see first-hand how sports have the ability to impact people beyond the field of play. His life experiences have shaped a strong perspective and competitiveness that is still lit to this day, even with a variety of life experiences under his belt. He grew up in Chester, VA as a man of many talents and the decision to fully commit to baseball in high school. After a tumultuous senior year, that decision ended up paying off with a great deal of success at Division-III Trinity, and eventually playing in the minor leagues. He talks about what playing collegiate baseball is like as well as the ups and downs of lower-level organizations. One night in 2018 his life changed forever, and Kyle is really candid about how difficult that time was and who helped them get there. Since his injuries, Bogese has found a new purpose within the game of developing young pitchers in the Virginia area and helping them become better young men on and off the field. He has lots of strong advice for people in any situation, and believes in the power of work ethic and having a tough mentality.  Thank you for tuning in - please consider leaving a comment & review!

    Sean Thompson: VCU Baseball Head Coach

    Going into his first year as the head coach at his alma mater, Sean Thompson sits down with Ben Rekosh on Unique Pathways to discuss his journey to becoming the youngest head coach in Division I collegiate baseball.

Coach Thompson will be the first to say that being a head coach is a lot different than it may seem, but he’s excited for his first season at the top spot. The two then end with some rapid fire questions to get to know the coach's personality and give some life advice.  Thank you for tuning in - please consider leaving a comment & review!
