🔥 “The Journey” Episode 2: The Smith’s — Believing Before the World Did

In this episode of “The Journey”, Rodney and Nikki Smith open up about the middle school years—the stage when their daughter NaLyssa Smith and son De’An Smith began to take their sports to the next level. Her parents share how NaLyssa’s basketball journey started to take shape, even as outside opinions challenged their belief in her potential. Nikki gets vulnerable in this episode, revealing a moment when an ex-collegiate trainer questioned whether NaLyssa had what it took to reach the next level—a comment that tested her own confidence as a parent. But through that experience, she discovered something deeper about her daughter’s learning style and resilience. Rodney, who played basketball at UTSA, and Nikki, a former AAU sprinter, also reflect on how their athletic backgrounds shaped the way they guided both NaLyssa and De’An through those crucial years. From playing against boys to handling early rankings and expectations, they share how belief, patience, and perspective carried their family forward. This episode is a powerful reminder that every journey starts with faith—and that sometimes, the people closest to us see our potential before the rest of the world does. #TheJourneyPodcast #NaLyssaSmith #WNBA #AthleteParents #SportsFamily
