"Do you love to win or hate to lose? [There’s a] BET interview that Jemele Hill did with Kobe Bryant. Jemele: There’s two type of players, players who love to win and players who hate to lose. Which one are you? Kobe: I’m neither. Meaning that I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win, it’s a weakness either way."

This week’s book is What Drives Winning by Brett Ledbetter. Brett is a performance consultant.
