How Basketball Builds Confidence, Character & Community w/ CeJay Bromell EP 195

A packed gym, a sudden collapse, and a moment that changed everything. At seventeen, CeJay Bromell’s playing career ended—but his mission didn’t. He transformed his love for basketball into a training movement that builds confidence, discipline, and community for kids across the county. Today, NEXL is known for skills training with a soul.

In this episode, we break down the fundamentals that actually move the needle: protecting the ball, reading space, and building decision-making through clear, repeatable reps. CeJay shows how small, consistent wins teach patience, grit, and focus—and why the “little things” create big separation on and off the court.

We dig into:

• Corrective coaching without shame
• Rewarding effort instead of perfection
• The village effect of older players mentoring younger ones
• Parent involvement that strengthens family bonds
• The heart behind the Good Ball Movement, a daily dose of motivation for kids

The result? Better grades, steadier moods, stronger leaders—and a belief that hard work pays off.

If you care about youth development, coaching fundamentals, or practical mindset tools, you’ll walk away with ideas you can use immediately.
