You have to learn to use basketball and not let basketball use you

This is a mantra that Chris Anderson shares with his coachees, and himself. It is not unique to basketball but can be pulled out and applied to situations we may find ourselves in.

Understanding why you are there, why are you putting the work in here but not there, and what are you doing to create the future self you want to see? Continually asking yourself these core questions will provide a secret step up to make you ready for the next level.

In this weeks episode, we delve into the role of personal development, for not only succeeding in business but finding your true self. Its awkward, uncomfortable and sometimes just straight-up hard, but isnt it better to be ready so you dont have to be ready?
