This episode represents the first time that LeBron James has been
interviewed alongside his very below-the-radar, some might say
top-secret, athletic trainer about details of training, recovery,
diet, and even how much longer he hopes to play in the NBA.
LeBron James (@KingJames) is widely considered
one of the greatest athletes of his generation and regarded by
some as the best basketball player of all time. James'
accomplishments on the court include four NBA Most Valuable
Players Awards, three NBA Championships and three NBA Finals MVP
Awards, two Olympic gold medals, and an NBA scoring title. He is
the all-time NBA playoffs scoring leader and has amassed fourteen
NBA All-Star game appearances, twelve All-NBA First Team
selections, and five All-Defensive First Team honors.
Throughout his career, James has used his platform to inspire and
empower others through his LeBron James Family Foundation that
supports at-risk students in his hometown earn life-changing
educations (culminating in the recent opening of his I PROMISE
School); SpringHill Entertainment, the entertainment company he
co-founded with Maverick Carter that produces compelling and
aspirational content for a cross-cultural audience on a variety
of platforms including digital, film, and television; and
UNINTERRUPTED, the digital media company he and Carter co-founded
that provides athletes a platform to tell their stories.
James' diverse business portfolio of innovative endorsements and
investments has established him as one of the most influential
figures in all of sports. James has appeared on Forbes' list of
the world's most powerful celebrities, TIME's annual list of the
100 most influential people in the world, and Bloomberg
BusinessWeek's 100 Most Influential People in Sports.
LeBron, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cindy Crawford, and
Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, has founded Ladder, a health
and wellness platform and brand launching today. The site,
weareladder.com, is a resource for reaching fitness, nutrition,
and health goals with tools and scientifically supported insights
for addressing any frustrations or roadblocks along the way.
Mike Mancias (@mikemancias1) is LeBron James'
athletic trainer and recovery specialist, a position he's held
for 14 years and counting. A veteran in the world of training
professional basketball players, his experience also includes
working with NFL, MLB, PGA, and top NCAA athletes. Throughout his
tenure with LeBron, Mike has quietly developed a winning
human-performance blueprint that encompasses everything from
preventative medicine, strength training/rehab, nutrition, and
the latest in recovery techniques. Mike's philosophy is one that
is now commonly accepted by many athletes and trainers as the
ideal 360-degree approach to wellness and performance. It was
through this focus on nutrition to performance and recovery that
Mancias aided in developing the Ladder brand and its products.
Originally from Brownsville, Texas, Mancias attended the
University of Texas-Pan American and graduated with a degree in
Health Education. He is licensed and nationally certified by the
Accredited National Athletic Trainers Association and is a
14-year member of The National Basketball Athletic Trainers
Association.Please enjoy!
