Description

This is going to sound crazy, but it’s absolutely true…

…did you ever listen to THIS PODCAST and quit your job?

And not just any job – but a job with APPLE?

Because as wild as that sounds, today’s guest did just that.

Alex Hubelbank is an NBA consultant that appears to have lived 99 lives.

She really did quit her job at Apple so she could pursue her dream of going back to physical therapy school and working in the NBA.

And in this episode of the Physical Prep Podcast, we’re going to take a deep dive into the principles, value systems and processes she uses to get amazing results with her athletes.

People need to have a better understanding if they want to make better decisions. – Alex Hubelbank
