Sports Business Secrets
Season 2 || Episode 375
Welcome back to another edition of Sports Business Secrets!
Today’s guest is DeMarcus Berry, Head Coach for the Kaohsiung Steelers, a club from Taiwan's PLeague+.
Lucky for me, he is also a Kreation Talent Agency client.
DeMarcus has had an amazing journey from playing at the NAIA level, to playing in Australia, then to coaching in Australia. He’s done scouting for teams in New Zealand, Turkey, Germany, China and more. In 2018 he was a Special Assistant on staff for the Atlanta Hawks GLeague team, the Skyhawks. Before heading to Taiwan he was the Head Coach of a team in the TBL, the Tampa Bay Titans.
In today's episode we talked about:
His transition from playing to coaching
How he got his scouting opportunities
An overview of the PLeague and pro hoops in Taiwan
His roles and responsibilities for Kaohsiung
Excitement about the East Asia Super League
Advice for aspiring coaches & much more!
And at the end we have the infamous Sports Business Secrets lightning round.
It’s been an honor representing Coach Berry so far and I’m pumped that you get to learn a little bit more about his life and coaching experiences in this hour long conversation.
