"The Rundown" is a Grit original series where light is shed on local sports stories around the United States.
For some people they consider football as an after-school activity, a fun sport to play, or something to watch; however, for others it is a way of life. In this small town, football is the only thing that provides these students with a way out or a sense of meaning. Football is more than just a sport to this town.
About Grit:
Grit's mission is to inspire, inform and empower the next generation through sports culture. Sports media is filled with talking heads and scripted statements. So, we're moving beyond the scores and highlights to bring original digital stories about real people and real issues.

In his latest vlog, Brandin Cooks tells his viewers the difference between dreams and reality. He also shares how he made his dreams into a reality.
"UNFILTERED" is a Grit original vlog series where pro athletes share their raw thoughts on various life topics with their fans.
No one really understands what life is like for a professional athlete because we only get a short glimpse on game day. For New Orleans WR, Brandin Cooks, people might feel that he’s different because he’s now a public figure. At the end of the day, his only focus is continuing on the path to greatness and living life with integrity.

Although players like Speedy Smith were not invited to perform at the NBA Combine, they still have other opportunities to impress folks like Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher. Through ASM Sports Agency's open showcase of its players, both Jackson and Fisher came and watched the likes of Speedy. This year Speedy went un-drafted, but is tearing it up in Latvia.
This past summer in Las Vegas, ASM Sports Agency held an open showing of their players for NBA teams to come and see their skills.
"Next Up" is a Grit Media original series following the journeys of college basketball players entering the 2015 NBA Draft. On the path, we check out their pre-draft workouts, get to know them on and off the court, and find out how they deal with pressure to make an NBA roster.
In Grit's newest series, "Next Up," we took a trip to Las Vegas to spend some time with potential first-round and second round picks for the 2015 NBA Draft.

To enter the NBA, one needs to have skills, lots of skills. Players like Kristaps Porzingis, Myles Turner, Rakeem Christmas, and Jarell Martin all have the talent that one needs to become a great NBA player. They showcased their talent this past summer in Las Vegas, also know as "Sin City".

Prospective NBA players not only go through intense physical training, but also social and media training. With the rise of digital media, players need to be cool, calm, and collected in front of the cameras and behind the computer. It's all about the image and making sure that they are portraying the person they want to be perceived as. The media has its way of twisting and turning the "realness" of a story.

More and more players from around the world are coming to the U.S. to play in the NBA. Kristaps Porzingis originally from Lativia is now playing for the New York Knicks. Being in the NBA takes lots of perseverance and discipline.

For rookie players like Kristaps Porzingis, Rakeem Christmas, Jarell Martin, Speedy Smith, and Myles Turner the road to the NBA is uncertain and unpredictable. They train and prepare themselves so that they can possibly enter the NBA and play with the likes of Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant. This series showcases a "behind-the-scenes" look at how players and their agents "court" NBA teams.

“Heart of the City” is a documentary web series that tells the story of 6 North American cities through the lens of basketball. Each episode focuses on a different city and throws the viewer into the middle of the hoops scene. Every journey needs a guide and ours is Devin Williams of Shift Team HQ. Devin is a trainer, a former player, and a student of the game.
Throughout the series, Devin watches up-and-coming local players try to become the city’s best and spends time in the gym with top trainers and coaches.
But that’s not it... We also dive deeper into the day-to-day lives of the characters who define the game in their city. We see what their lives look like. Where they come from. Where they’re going. What drives them. It’s a ground-level, slice of life approach that, at the end of an episode, is both a pulse-taking of each city’s basketball culture, but also a portrait of that city itself.

Recently, Toronto has been producing some notable NBA talent. Like the city itself, the Toronto basketball scene is young, urban, and in the process of developing into something great. See Devin Williams explore the people and culture of our last stop for Heart of the City.
Make sure to check out “Heart of the City | Toronto” on Sunday, October 18th".
“Heart of the City” is a documentary web series that tells the story of 6 North American cities through the lens of basketball. Each episode focuses on a different city and throws the viewer into the middle of the hoops scene. Every journey needs a guide and ours is Devin Williams of Shift Team HQ. Devin is a trainer, a former player, and a student of the game.
Throughout the series, Devin watches up-and-coming local players try to become the city’s best and spends time in the gym with top trainers and coaches.
But that’s not it... We also dive deeper into the day-to-day lives of the characters who define the game in their city. We see what their lives look like. Where they come from. Where they’re going. What drives them. It’s a ground-level, slice of life approach that, at the end of an episode, is both a pulse-taking of each city’s basketball culture, but also a portrait of that city itself.

In his latest vlog, Brandin Cooks talks about what it means to be a leader and what kind of characteristics it takes to be one. Anyone can be a leader, but it's about living up to the call, expectations, and responsibilities that make or break a good leader.
"UNFILTERED" is a Grit original vlog series where pro athletes share their raw thoughts on various life topics with their fans.
No one really understands what life is like for a professional athlete because we only get a short glimpse on game day. For New Orleans WR, Brandin Cooks, people might feel that he’s different because he’s now a public figure. At the end of the day, his only focus is continuing on the path to greatness and living life with integrity.

Chicago is known for its rough and physical play, but which part of Chi-town has the best style? What's the difference between Southside and Westside? Everyone has their own opinion on which side has its better players; however, overall one has to admit that Chicago produces some great talent like that of Jabari Parker and Derrick Rose.
“Heart of the City” is a documentary web series that tells the story of 6 North American cities through the lens of basketball. Each episode focuses on a different city and throws the viewer into the middle of the hoops scene. Every journey needs a guide and ours is Devin Williams of Shift Team HQ. Devin is a trainer, a former player, and a student of the game.
Throughout the series, Devin watches up-and-coming local players try to become the city’s best and spends time in the gym with top trainers and coaches.
But that’s not it... We also dive deeper into the day-to-day lives of the characters who define the game in their city. We see what their lives look like. Where they come from. Where they’re going. What drives them. It’s a ground-level, slice of life approach that, at the end of an episode, is both a pulse-taking of each city’s basketball culture, but also a portrait of that city itself.

Chicago has produced lots of NBA talent. With great schools like Morgan Park and Simeon, its players are an elite bunch. But behind all the talent, each player has his own story in why he's playing. Chicago is known for being aggressive and physical with its play. Why is that? Devin Williams takes a closer look for the reason.

For Jarell Martin, the road to the NBA isn't your everyday story. A hometown boy from Louisiana thrown into the world of media and press. As Martin begins his career in the NBA, he has to adjust to not only the intense discipline it takes to be the best, but also being under lights and cameras. In this video, Martin reflects on his growth in media relations.
“The Rundown” is exclusive behind-the-scenes footage where people in the sports world have uncensored conversations about everything.
"Next Up" is a Grit Media original series following the journeys of college basketball players entering the 2015 NBA Draft. On the path, we check out their pre-draft workouts, get to know them on and off the court, and find out how they deal with pressure to make an NBA roster.

Devin Williams and Alan Stein are two of the most well-known trainers in the basketball world. The two come from an era where being respected on the basketball court meant you played against and dominated the best competition on the any court. Like with everything, the game has evolved and now younger players aren't incentivized to win like before. In this bonus episode, Alan explains why he thinks winning isn't everything for younger players.

In the basketball world, Alan Stein is considered one of the best strength and conditioning coaches around. He has worked with some of the NBA's elite player like DC native, Kevin Durant. So when Devin took a trip to the nation's capital, it only made sense for him to connect with Alan and learn about his approach on his game. In our first bonus episode, the two trainers talk about the importance of players properly training from a young age.
Washington DC has been producing lots of NBA talent recently. But the area still feels like it doesn't get the respect that's been earned. Devin Williams (Shift Team HQ) heads to the nation's capital to find out how they're churning out so many top players.
Make sure to check out “Heart of the City | Washington DC” on Sunday, September 6th.
“Heart of the City” is a documentary web series that tells the story of 6 North American cities through the lens of basketball. Each episode focuses on a different city and throws the viewer into the middle of the hoops scene. Every journey needs a guide and ours is Devin Williams of Shift Team HQ. Devin is a trainer, a former player, and a student of the game.
Throughout the series, Devin watches up-and-coming local players try to become the city’s best and spends time in the gym with top trainers and coaches.
But that’s not it... We also dive deeper into the day-to-day lives of the characters who define the game in their city. We see what their lives look like. Where they come from. Where they’re going. What drives them. It’s a ground-level, slice of life approach that, at the end of an episode, is both a pulse-taking of each city’s basketball culture, but also a portrait of that city itself.

Life for Holley Mangold has been filled with lots of personal triumphs. Prior to becoming an olympic weightlifter, Mangold played high school football and even was a television personality on The Biggest Loser. In our bonus episode of "The Rundown," Holley talks about the impact the show has had on her athletic career and the reminder that she loves being big.
Many people know Holley Mangold for her Vine parody of JJ Watts' box jump or for being NY Jets player, Nick Mangold's younger sister. But, Holley is most notably known for her weightlifting career. In 2012, Mangold represented the US Weightlifting Team in the Olympic Games in London where she placed 10th. Since then, Holley has been training for the 2016 games. Unlike Olympic athletes in other countries who are sponsored by their governments, Mangold has had to cover her own expenses to train. This is challenging when you don't have a full-time job. This hasn't stopped Holley from pursuing Olympic glory.
We took a trip to Ohio to spend a couple of days with Holley Mangold getting an in-depth look at her life and how she's getting ready for 2016.
