Being Asian in Sports & The NBA - EP16w/Carlo Singson

Sports is not just about the physical aspect. The mental and psychological aspect is very important as well. Research has shown that sports improve concentration and boosts self-confidence. Today, we invite Carlo Singson, an ex-vice president and managing director of the NBA Philippines and a sports media and entertainment enthusiast, who is passionate about the way platforms can be used to bring people together, to speak to us about the importance of an athlete’s mental health, the NBA, and social media.
