Ty Ellis, a person who stutters, wears many hats. He is an optimal performance coach, a public speaker, and a former professional basketball coach.

Ty talks about the mental challenges he faced growing up and the pivotal role of his grandmother played in building his confidence as a stutterer.

How did his stutter contribute to his success in sports and coaching?
