Former NBA player and motivational speaker Chris Herren talks to junior high students during a presentation on Wednesday at Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby. Herren battled substance abuse during his time as a college basketball player, international leagues and in the NBA.

Former NBA player Chris Herren appeared Wednesday at Illinois Valley Community College to tell local students about his recovery from substance abuse.
Herren, 49, was a standout high school basketball player from Massachusetts heavily recruited by top Division I programs but steadily succumbed to drug abuse. Despite many failed collegiate drug tests, he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets and briefly played with his hometown Boston Celtics before his off-court issues derailed his career.
Herren is clean 17 years and tours the country urging young people to steer clear of drugs and to embrace healthy lifestyles to avoid getting drawn into dangerous circles.
Herren appeared Wednesday at the invitation of La Salle County State’s Attorney Joe Navarro.
Before his IVCC presentations, Herren spoke to Shaw Local News Network about his mission to help others overcome addiction.
So, Chris, you’ve done a lot of these talks. How many days out of the year are you on the road? And is it exhausting?
I do probably around 200 talks a year. Typically, I travel Monday through Thursday, sometimes Tuesday through Thursday. You know, I kind of dialed it back for myself and my family a few years ago. For the first 10 years, I was out Monday through Friday. So the question is, is it exhausting? It is.
Does it also sustain you? Does it help you with your outreach?
Most definitely. It helps me more than it hurts me, but I’m not going to lie and say that it doesn’t ever wear me down. There’ve been times where I’ve had to protect my recovery and say, “I’ve got to dial this back.”
Have you ever circled back to a venue that you had visited before and been approached by someone who said, ‘Thank you. Your testimony got me clean.’?
Oh, definitely. That’s the most beautiful part about all of this. I opened up a treatment center seven years ago in Massachusetts and the majority of people 30 and under have heard me speak in high school. So, every time someone’s

checking into my treatment center, they’ll say, ‘Hey, you came to my high school eight years ago, 10 years ago.’
Let’s talk about the families, the people who are waiting and praying their kid will make a recovery. What advice do you have for those hoping for a breakthrough?
I believe in intervention. I have family members who struggle, and the majority of the conversations are about seeking help. I often say, ‘Don’t support addiction, support recovery.’ And if you’re willing to support recovery, then that’s got to be the conversation.
Does that mean sometimes there has to be tough love?
Absolutely, but I think it’s at their discretion, right? Not everybody has the same family, not everybody has the same pain and suffering. So, sometimes, you just got to go off how you feel.
Looking back, what might have changed things for you? What was missing from your youth experience that might have made the turnaround faster?
But what I do believe is getting out in front of this early. And I wish somebody challenged me to be better when I was 16, 17, 18 years old.
Let’s look ahead. Obviously, society needs to change. We have too many people that are hurting and sick. What would you like to see happen the next five, 10 years that might reduce the incidence of addiction? I would love to see health and wellness, substance use, mental health, a core class in our school systems. I think kids should learn about that as soon as they walk in the door. I think if social studies and geography and history and a foreign language are required, that should be part of the curriculum on a daily basis.
One last question. When you look back at the tape and, obviously, you were a phenom, what’s it like seeing your old self? What goes through your mind?
I never had an intervention. I had public interventions, where I’ve fallen publicly, but, you know, in hindsight,
I look back at my family and there was never a family intervention. And I’m not saying that could have helped.
A. It’s tough. I’m going to be honest with you, right? Because those years were extremely difficult for me. Probably the toughest part of my life to look at was probably the Boston Celtics, when that should have been at the peak of my athletic career. It’s the time of my career that I really still struggle with looking at to this day.

For the past 16 years, Jared Sale has coached in the girls basketball program at Putnam County.
Sale was an assistant coach for six years and has been the Panthers’ head coach for the past decade.
Now, Sale will take over the program he played for as a high schooler. Sale accepted the Putnam County boys basketball head varsity job pending school board approval May 20.
“It’s obviously an exciting feeling,” Sale said. “I’ve been with the girls program for 16 years. That program has obviously meant a ton to me. I basically grew up with the girls program. It was a tough decision to make because of all the memories, but when the opportunity came up to coach the program I played for and was part of some really successful teams in, we talked about it at home, and it was just something we felt it was the right time to jump at it and try to get it rebuilt.
“I’m excited and eager to get to work.”
Sale was the longest tenured coach in the history of the PC girls program and won the most games with a 141-143 record.
“Throughout his tenure, coach Sale has demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with student-athletes, build strong, trust-based relationships and foster a positive team culture grounded in accountability and respect,” PC athletic director Chris Newsome said. “His deep commitment to developing players both on and off the court has left, and will continue to leave, a lasting impact on our program and our school community.
“Coach Sale also brings a unique talent for engaging the broader community – rallying support from families, alumni and local stakeholders in a way that strengthens the bond between our athletic programs and the community we serve. His leadership, vision and passion
We’re really going to attack the month of June to try to get those building blocks in place.”
Sale said he’ll use some of the same schemes with the boys program that he did with the girls, but with some changes.
“Schematically, basketball is basketball, so we’re going to take some things that I know worked well on the girls side and try to implement them,” Sale said. “Obviously, there will be some things that need to be tweaked. I have to look at skill set from the guys we have coming back and figure out what’s going to suit them best to hopefully put them in the best spot to be successful.
“There are things that I trust and I know work, so you kind of lean on those things a little bit, but at the same time, you have to be open-minded.”
Sale hopes to restore the PC boys program to its former glory. The Panthers have three state appearances and 11 regional titles.
Sale played under John Slingsby, who coached the Panthers to a 168-70 record, five regional championships and a state berth from 2000-08.
Sale was a junior on PC’s 2006-07 state team and was a senior when the Panthers went 22-6 and reached a sectional final in 2007-08.
for the game make him the ideal choice to guide our boys basketball program into its next chapter.”
Sale takes over for Harold Fay, who led the Panthers to a 95-145 record and one regional championship over the past eight seasons.
“We are confident that coach Sale’s transition into this new role will bring continued growth, enthusiasm and success to PC boys basketball,” Newsome said.
The Panthers were 8-54 over the past two seasons, including 1-29 last winter.
“There’s been a lot of turnover in the coaching staff across the board, so it’s getting together with our youth coaches and trying to figure out a plan moving
forward on how we’re going to get things going,” Sale said. “Whether it’s focusing on skills, implementing the same offense, things like that. We want everybody on the same page and just have a coordinated attack on how we’re going to do this thing.
“It’s getting the kids to buy back into it. It’s building our summer program back up. That’s something the last four or five days I spent a ton of time on just trying to make sure we’re using our summer program to get the best out of the kids so come November we’re not behind the eight ball.
“We want to try to implement everything we possibly can this summer. We want it to be a refresher in November.
“You take a lot of pride in that,” Sale said. “Maybe you don’t realize it when you’re 17, 18 years old. When you get into coaching and look back on that, you take a lot of pride in that success. I think it brings the community together when you have a good product on the floor. People want to come out, and they want to support because they have that shared goal.
“It would be huge to get R.M. Germano [Gymnasium] back to what it used to be. When I was in high school, that place was packed every night. I would love to get back to that point. I think it’s possible. This program has tradition, and it’s had a lot of really good teams and a lot of really good players. I’m excited for the challenge.”
