Today we are joined by our guy Naveen aka NSR. He is the official photographer of Brown Ballers and is well versed in different content creation, sports photography and more. How did we first meet and when did he first get involved with the platform? How did he originally get into photography and how has he been able to turn it into his career? We discuss how he managed his parents’ expectations when he was first getting started and what excites him the most when it comes to photography. He operates in a highly competitive space so how does he go about finding new opportunities and navigating through the competition? We wrap this one up by talking about Canada basketball and what it means for the next generation of young hoopers in the country.

Today we are joined by Navid Rahman, a pro football (soccer) player that has played around the world and just recently represented the Pakistani national team. Holding citizenship in multiple countries, Navid was actually born in Europe, grew up in Canada and has actually never lived in Pakistan. Where has he played around the world professionally and how does sports culture differ overseas? We discuss the growth of soccer in Pakistan and what it is like to be called up to the international squad. He talks about how there are multiple dual citizens playing for the international team and some of the guys that he models his game after. Are there any stereotypes brown players face in the sport and what are the chances we see a south asian nation take the next step when it comes to international competition? Finally, we all know that Brown Ballers and this platform has been very basketball centric but we are super excited to announce that we will be launching a soccer team!
