On a recent episode of The Leverett Ball Show, I sat down with former Harlem Globetrotter and three-time Amazing Race contestant Herbert Lang for an inspiring conversation about success, resilience, and making the most of life's opportunities.
Lang reflected on his journey from small-town Arkansas to becoming one of the most recognizable members of the Harlem Globetrotters and a fan favorite on The Amazing Race. Along the way, he shared valuable insights about building relationships, embracing new challenges, and using one opportunity to create the next.
One of the most powerful moments of the interview came when Lang discussed a serious car accident that nearly claimed his life in 2024. He explained how the experience gave him a renewed appreciation for every day and strengthened his commitment to spreading kindness, gratitude, and positivity.
We also discussed the evolution of sports entertainment, the importance of preparing athletes for life after their playing careers, and Lang's current work as an entrepreneur, speaker, and community leader. Throughout the conversation, he emphasized a simple but powerful message: never put yourself in a box, keep learning, and continue pursuing your dreams.
Whether you know Herbert Lang from the Harlem Globetrotters, The Amazing Race, or his motivational speaking, this interview offers an inspiring reminder that success is about more than achievements. It's about the impact you make on others and the gratitude you carry with you every day.
