FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New Podcast “Shooting It Straight” Brings Life Lessons from the Court to Everyday Life

Hurricane, WV — May 20, 2025 — A new voice is stepping up to the mic. “Shooting It Straight”, a dynamic new podcast hosted by basketball coaching legend Jim Clayton and educator and podcaster Randy Black, is set to debut soon — blending powerful life lessons with stories from the hardwood that inspire, entertain, and motivate.

Rooted in the philosophies behind Clayton’s iconic Sports City U Basketball Academy, Shooting It Straight delivers more than just hoops talk. Each episode uses the game as a springboard to explore character, grit, leadership, and personal growth — with a tone that’s fun, energetic, and unmistakably Jim Clayton. Listeners can expect real talk, relatable wisdom, and the occasional “BAM! Son” — that’s Believe, Achieve, Motivate — Clayton’s signature phrase.

“This podcast is about more than basketball,” said Jim Clayton. “It’s about reaching people where they are and helping them shoot it straight — in life, in work, in everything they do.”

Featuring special guests from the world of sports, education, and beyond, each episode offers candid conversations, memorable stories, and practical advice listeners can apply to their own journeys.

The podcast will be available on all major platforms, and fans can follow the show online at shootingitstraightpodcast.com for updates, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes access.
