Barak Swarttz is an American-Israeli elite performance coach, speaker, and content creator with a 225K YouTube following who has trained over 20 NBA and WNBA players, including Israeli stars Deni Avdija and Omri Caspi. Forged through career-ending injuries including a torn ACL and fractured vertebrae, his "Gain Resilience In Time" (GRIT) philosophy embodies the mental fortitude that defines his advocacy work. Reaching millions monthly, Barak uses his platform to deliver what academics praise as one of the most nuanced perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leveraging basketball as a universal language to bridge cultural divides, combat antisemitism, and inspire truth-driven dialogue across college campuses and global audiences.
