Today I get to sit with Utah Jazz Sports commentator Alema Harrington, along with his brother, return guest Tau. Alema talks about his journey from addiction to recovery, and the secret he learned to staying recovered.
Alema has been covering the Jazz since the early 2000s and just started another year or broadcasting High School Football, where their team has won national awards for their production.
He is a licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor and an addict in long term recovery, who shares his story as part of his own recovery. He recently formed The A-Game Institute with his twin brother Tau and son Durant to help carry the message of hope and healing, as well as to promote other principles of success and self-improvement.
Together they do presentations for schools, teams and corporations and can be booked through theagameinstitute.com
