Leadership Coaching From Former NBA GM Tommy Sheppard – Exclusively for SBC Community

At Sports Business Classroom (SBC), we are committed to providing our students with unparalleled opportunities to grow and succeed in the business of basketball.

Recently a select group of Sports Business Classroom alumni were offered the opportunity to take part in leadership coaching sessions with former Washington Wizards General Manager Tommy Sheppard. 

Tommy Sheppard added “Leadership comes with both challenges and opportunities. Whether you’re striving to elevate your team, navigate change, or sharpen your decision-making, the journey to becoming the leader you aspire to be is a deeply personal and transformative process.

My role is to help you unlock that potential.

Having spent 29 years as an executive in the NBA, I’ve experienced firsthand the demands of high-stakes environments where leadership must be both strategic and adaptable.

That time equipped me with deep insights into high-stakes decision-making, team leadership under pressure, strategic thinking and talent development at the highest level.”

This is more than just a coaching session, it’s a unique opportunity to learn directly from one of the most respectful figures in the NBA, someone who has shaped the future of a major franchise. Tommy has been part of the SBC family for years, and this new initiative highlights how SBC continues to provide its students with real-world access to industry leaders and insider knowledge.

SBC is constantly working to bring the best opportunities and experiences to our students, preparing them for success in a highly competitive field. We can’t wait to see what’s next for our students.
