Derrick Allen - The Journey of a Kid from Gadsden to a Legend in Germany

A terrific conversation with Derrick Allen and his amazing journey as a young boy from Gadsden, Alabama, who didn't make a school team until his 10th grade, to playing in the SEC, and then a highly decorated 16 year professional career in Europe, primarily in Germany.  "DA" was the first client of Pro One Sports Mgmt back in 2003 and used a small contract in Iceland to springboard him into Germany's top league, which saw him retire as the 2nd leading scorer in the history of Germany's Basketball Bundesliga 15 years after.  A fixture and top performer as a player in International competitions, Allen now is spending his first season as an Assistant Coach with Rasta Vechta, competing in the Champions League and Germany's Bundesliga, following his playing career retirement this summer.  DA's message of always being a great teammate, and in his "3 Point Shot" of being disciplined, putting in the work and dreaming big, is something all of us can learn from.
