If you're a YU Macs fan, you already know how incredible it is to watch the team in action—but there’s so much more happening beyond the basketball court. Zevi Samet, the captain of the Yeshiva University basketball team, is now bringing fans even closer to the action with his new podcast, “ Beyond the Court: Roy Itcovichi’s Journey – A Game Plan to Heaven.” It’s not just about the game but the growth, struggles, and spiritual journey of joining the YU community.
In the first episode, on the MacsLive YouTube chanel, Zevi and Roy take us on a unique journey, diving into Zevi's personal growth, his experience balancing basketball with being a Jew, and how he's learning to navigate life as a student-athlete at Yeshiva University. If you’ve ever wondered how your blue and white heroes manage the rigors of 6 AM practices while being a religious Jew, this podcast offers an honest, in-depth look.

The episode features Itcovichi, who shares his religious journey and perspective on faith, basketball, and everything. You’ll learn about his journey and how being on the team isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s about building character, improving their Jewish faith, and learning how to balance it all.
There’s a palpable passion and Jewish pride that Zevi and his teammates bring to every game. Beyond the Court takes that same passion and channels it into something that connects us all beyond just sports. So, if you're looking for a fresh perspective on life at YU and the journey of a student-athlete, this podcast is a must-listen.
