Joined by Justin Holiday, a 15-year NBA veteran, we unpack how rhythm — from church piano and marching band percussion to guitar and worship music — has shaped his focus, resilience, and identity on and off the court. We also explore how and why, in the intensity of professional sport and constant travel, intentional sound choices and even silence can become powerful tools for stress management, clarity, and performance.
