Speakers – Ryan Hollins, Joe Rogowski, and Kendrick Perkins
Joe Rogowski, the NBPA’s Chief Medical Officer talked with Ryan Hollins and Kendrick Perkins about player health as they transition from basketball and how the NBPA came up with the idea to host annual health screenings for retired players.
After the suspended season and before the bubble, the NBPA’s Off Court team organized a video series titled, “Transition Conversations’ ‘ that focused on a number of topics including, the career transition, player physical & mental wellness, financial literacy and more. These conversations were designed to help current and former players navigate various issues as they transition from basketball to the next stage of their careers. #TransitionConversations.
The NBPA’s Off The Court program supports and serves the interests of players following their career as a professional basketball player. The program assists with their transition process and common barriers players face going into retirement.
