Rebound Series Episodes

The Rebound Series is The Shadows Podcast’s most downloaded and talked-about collection — and for good reason.

In this powerful lineup, we sit down with basketball legends, coaches, and rising stars to explore their journeys both on the court and far beyond it. From buzzer-beating highs to heartbreaking setbacks, these athletes open up about the real-life moments that tested their mindset, shook their confidence, and shaped who they became.

Each guest shares their “rebound moment” — whether it’s overcoming injury, personal loss, identity struggles, or navigating life after the final whistle. We dive deep into the mental, emotional, and leadership lessons that go way beyond the game.

This series is a slam dunk for fans of sports, storytelling, and human resilience. Because sometimes the most important rebounds don’t happen under the rim — they happen in life.
