Much like with any profession that is reliant on physical ability, the lifespan of a professional athlete is one of the more limited in the world. With this in mind, many athletes are faced with big decisions to make regarding their career, sometimes before they even turn 30-years old.
This was the case for former New Jersey Nets guard Kevin McKenna. While many of his counterparts have floundered in their post-playing careers, McKenna has been able to thrive while helping develop the next generation of players.
Before he got into coaching however, the first big decision of his playing career came when he was a senior in high school.
