Shammond Williams Talks UNC Struggles + Henri Veesaar Update & Syracuse Preview - A UNC Basketball Podcast: Ep. 29

BIG Practice Scoop & Standouts w/ '09 Champ Mike Copeland + Franklin St. Changes - A UNC Basketball Podcast: Ep. 47
Q: How has Franklin Street and the surrounding scene changed since your playing days?
Franklin Street has shifted from a college-life hangout to more of an investment and business environment. You see families, business people, and alumni in a more commercial context, with spots and brands moving in and out. Still, the vibe of competition and community remains, just with a different flavor and emphasis on entrepreneurship.
BIG Practice Scoop & Standouts w/ '09 Champ Mike Copeland + Franklin St. Changes - A UNC Basketball Podcast: Ep. 47
Q: What was the biggest turning point that showed you coaching could become a serious, scalable venture?
Seeing the rapid growth of my program—from a single gym session to training 60 to 80 players in multiple camps—told me there was strong demand. The turning point was realizing I could run structured clinics and camps, build a brand, and recruit a coaching group to help manage the volume while keeping the quality high.
BIG Practice Scoop & Standouts w/ '09 Champ Mike Copeland + Franklin St. Changes - A UNC Basketball Podcast: Ep. 47
Q: How did you get into coaching and what sparked you to start your own training programs?
After retiring in 2012, my mom urged me to give back to the community and start working with kids. I began with camps but shifted toward training, recognizing there weren't many trainers around when I started. That led to creating DOS 40 Academy, building a business around helping young players develop fundamentals, confidence, and a path to college basketball.
