Today on At the Podium with Manuel Amezcua, we’re sitting down with NCAA and Michigan State Legend, Greg Kelser.
Greg Kelser has lived a life unlike many. He moved over 10 times as a child due to the fact that his parents were in the military, and along the way he acquired a unique approach to life that is still serving him today.
He has overcome obstacles during his athletic journey, ranging from being placed on the JV squad for 4 games as a tenth grader, to fighting for a starting spot at Michigan State.
In this episode, Greg shares a look behind the curtain of Michigan State's 1979 National Championship over Larry Bird, and reflects on his time playing with Magic Johnson, Terry Furlow, and his other immortalized teammates.
