Set against the cinematic backdrop of Cook’s Wyoming ranch, this one-hour Nebraska Public Media special traces the unlikely journey of a California basketball player who fell into volleyball and changed the sport forever. Cook opens up about his humble beginnings in Chula Vista, the life-altering moment that reshaped his career, and the evolution that transformed him into a coach known for his competitive spirit on the court and a pioneer in the sport of volleyball.

I joined the team at Nebraska Public Media for their last few days of production in order to shoot key stills for 'The Last Ride with John Cook.' The shots were used for the poster, promotional materials and thank you gifts for sponsors.
