Success Stories Unplugged

The Collin Chandler Episode

In this episode of Success Stories Unplugged, we sit down with Collin Chandler, the Kentucky guard whose journey is anything but typical. We explore how he returned to basketball after a two-year mission, the deliberate ramp-up process he underwent—physically, mentally, spiritually—and how he’s finding his stride at Kentucky.
 
Collin shares candid stories about:
 
His path to Kentucky—why he flipped his commitment after his mission, and why he ultimately chose to stay instead of entering the transfer portal.
The transition back into elite-level basketball: rebuilding conditioning, finding rhythm, battling self-doubt, and gradually earning his place.
The role faith plays in his life—how spiritual conviction shapes his mindset, resilience, and decisions on and off the court.
His marriage—how marrying Hannah grounds him, offers perspective beyond sports, and helps him manage the emotional highs and lows.
His evolving leadership role with teammates: stepping up, speaking into culture, and embracing responsibility as Kentucky chases big goals.
Kentucky’s season ahead—how he views the team’s path, what it takes to stay consistent, and how he hopes to contribute to a championship run.
