By the end of his senior year, Osheray “O” Streeter was considered the best pure point guard in Alaska. But his ascendancy didn’t come easy. O was raised by his single mother in one of the roughest parts of Fairbanks and didn’t get to know his father until years later. Through the mentorship of a neighbor who he considers to be his big sister and a caring yet combative coach, O pushed himself to excel every time he stepped on the hardwood. O turned down multiple D2 and D3 scholarship offers to pursue his dream of balling at a D1 school. He had to take a break from the game to earn a spot on a university squad, and finally made good on his promise to himself. Now retired from competitive basketball, O is committed to helping young players fulfill their potential through his dual roles as physical therapist and strength and conditioning coach. In this episode, O reveals:How he rose above drugs and crime in an impoverished areaWhy he chose to forgive his father for not being around and how their relationship blossomedWhat it means to be a pitbull on both ends of the court How he overcame being an undersized guard What it was like to be out of the game for two years and then earn a spot on a college squadThe classic mistake that young basketball players make when using plyometrics to boost their vertical jump The keys to building basketball durability during rehab and trainingLearn more from O by following him on Instagram.
