Wednesday, January 31, 2024 • Duration 18:20
Every basketball player who’s stepped on the court in an open gym or the hot unforgiving blacktop knows how important it is to win games and hold court. If your team won, you’d get to stay on the court and challenge the next group.
But if you lost, that meant you had to sit out for at least one game, and maybe more depending on how many other teams were waiting. And the feeling of losing sat deep in your stomach until it was your turn to get back on the court.
In today’s episode of the Rebound Podcast, host Matt Doherty talks about some of the life lessons he learned while growing up playing basketball in East Meadow, NY, just thirty minutes outside of New York City. It was there that Matt learned toughness, how to be coachable, and how to succeed on your merits and nothing else.

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 • Duration 54:23
Athletes, especially those at the top of their game, are generally regarded as physically gifted people that can perform feats that most of us only dream about. Running, jumping, catching and more are all common traits of the best athletes, and it’s how many of them define themselves and their lives.
So what happens when an athlete is stripped of their ability to walk?
In 1981, Joe Reto was coming off an All-ACC performance as a sophomore as a DH and first baseman for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. A star baseball player but a standout athlete in general, Joe had dreams of playing in the majors.
However, a late night car crash changed everything.

He discusses his successful baseball career, his hitting strategies, and his record-breaking performance.

He shares his perspective on forgiveness and staying in touch with the driver of the car involved in the accident.
Joe Reto’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and finding joy in life despite adversity. Joe talks to host Matt Doherty about his journey of acceptance and finding solutions after a life-changing injury. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective and taking the high road in the face of adversity. Joseph also discusses his retirement and involvement in speaking at basketball camps. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the need for better accessibility solutions.

Thursday, January 11, 2024 • Duration 39:35
When Michael Jordan reinvested in North Carolina by buying a majority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats (as they were known at the time), he knew he had to have a leadership team around him that he could trust. That's why he brought in one of his good friends and business partners, Fred Whitfield.
In his 17 years as the leader of the Hornets, Fred oversaw the return of the Hornets brand and imagery, the hosting of an NBA All-Star game, as well as both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Just this fall, Fred decided to resign from the Hornets. With the new majority owners taking over, Fred feels it is a good time to step away.
Fred Whitfield and Coach Matt Doherty have a candid and in-depth discussion about his time at the Hornets. Fred also talks about the path he traveled to get there which included stops at Nike, the Washington Wizards and the Jordan Brand.
