Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Hunger came from not having resources as other kids had what Chris Bosh wanted
  • “Now it’s about the glory, the name on the back of my jersey, it’s about me establishing who I am,” – Chris Bosh
  • It was about putting everything into the game and hoping to get something in return
• Emulation becomes a part of you, when you stop thinking about it; you put your own spin on it
  • “The ultimate pinnacle for the athlete is to go out there and express yourself without thinking,” – Chris Bosh
• Bosh believes that you make better decisions with snap judgments, instead of over-analyzing
• The fundamentals are the keys to greatness
  • Many great NBA players do not get enough credit for their fundamentals
  • The reason Michael Jordan was so successful was because of his fundamentals (how he disabled other players with angles and footwork)
• The big secret is to work now and worry later (do not look worried on the court, mid-game)
  • Evaluate what you did wrong, but only after it is all over
  • Meanwhile, keep your presence on the court
• The days you don’t feel like it, those are the days you have to work
  • That is when the magic happens
