Herbert Lang Bio:
Herbert Lang came from humble beginnings in Brinkley, Arkansas
graduating from Centenary College of Louisiana in 1998. While
there, he led the Trans-America Athletic Conference in scoring
and won the National Association of Basketball Coaches Slam Dunk
Contest. The Globetrotters invited him to their training camp in
1999, and he spent 18 years as a player and coach with the team.
He traveled to nearly 100 countries and interacted with various
influential dignitaries. He also participated in numerous TV
shows and contests, including three seasons of The Amazing Race
and, Are you Smarter Than A 5th Grader? He wrote about his unique
journey in a recently-published memoir, Projects, Popes, and
Presidents.
Lang, a lifelong Razorback fan who still cheers on U of A sports
teams, now lives in Ruskin, Florida with his wife Elena. Herb is
also a TEDx SPEAKER. https://youtu.be/ZeivzoCpygM He speaks about
concepts from his books (Projects, Popes, and Presidents) as an
on-air correspondent and inspirational speaker. He also
facilitates sports clinics for young people. Herb just finished
filming “Sweetwater.” Herb plays the role of “Babe” Pressley
former Harlem Globetrotter! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3602956/
He’s currently working with a Hollywood production company to
develop one of his many television show concepts and improve his
skills as an Actor, Producer, and being s good human.
The father of three (Antonio, Nicholas, and Reya) said he was
taught to treat people with kindness, and that principle still
guides his life today. His mantra is summarized in the hashtag
#kindnessisfree, which Herb often uses online and in
correspondence.
“I am just a small-town Arkansas kid who has been blessed to have
so many amazing life-changing opportunities,” he said. “I truly
believe that it’s important to treat others even better than you
expect to be treated by people. Every major accomplishment in my
life has been the direct result of others speaking up for me,
trusting, and believing I would not fail them in doing so.”
Lang finds beauty in life’s struggles. He believes that success
is not determined by how much money a person makes but by how
many lives they touch along the way.
