Media Training for Athletes and "Qaddafi's Point Guard" On Q for 1-27-14

TODAY on "Q" 

--  Nigerian-American athlete ALEX OWUMI  discusses his memoir, "Qaddafi's Point Guard: The Incredible Story of a Professional Basketball Player Trapped in Libya's Civil War"... which details the story of how his overseas basketball career led him to play for an athletic club funded by the then-Libyan president.

-- With a touchy political situation in Russia, and the competitive spirit riding high, two athletes and former Olympians – ADAM VANKOEVERDEN and CLARA HUGHES – offer a look behind the curtain, at what goes into media training for elite athletes… and whether it's making sports journalism bland and athletes more boring.
