Quotes

  • “I think we learn the most from the challenges. And the difficult part is I think we fail to pay attention to them. It’s good to ask yourself the question: what am I supposed to learn in this season of my life?”  -Brad Noll [17:24] 


  • “I asked: What are my non-negotiables? My faith, I'm not compromising my faith. I'm not compromising my family. And I thought beyond the age of 55, when my kids are in junior high and high school, if I stayed in coaching, I had zero chance to be the father I wanted to be. And that's a non-negotiable for me. I want to be the best father I can be.“ -Cam Cameron [43:13]

Profile picture for Brad Noll

Brad Noll

I grew up a Coach's Kid. The locker room was my classroom. I had many successes personally in basketball, but that wasn't the most fulfilling. My best lessons and experiences all came from being on a team. When my Division 1 basketball career was over, my wife and I decided to start a real estate company. Our goal is to share the lessons we've learned thus far so that we can Help Others WIn.

Like most, we struggled our way through. We had ups and downs. We quickly realized that all the lessons we needed to grow our business, we learned through our own personal journey with sports. Now, after 20 years of being in business, we want to bring our successes and failures to the classroom. We aim to bring you interviews of people just like you.

Greatness is already inside you. Student of the Game podcast was created to help you Master the Fundamentals, Fall in Love with Practice, and Win in the Game of Life.
