  • Player 1 Challenge - Upgrade Talk #03

    We've been speaking a lot about this mindset of setting a small goal for yourself and not stopping until you complete it. This can be as simple as landing a bottle flip, jumping and touching the back board, 100 push ups in a minute, etc. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it challenges you and you complete it. So we've decided to turn it into an official challenge! #Player1challenge


    Here's how it works:
    - Film yourself committing to ANY challenge you set for yourself
    - It must be challenging enough that you fail the first few attempts
    - Show us the raw emotion of struggle and of achievement
    - Tag us with #Player1challenge

  • Growth mindset - Upgrade talk #02

    What does isolation 2.0 mean to you? How you react to this question says a lot about the habits you are building within your life. 

    If you all you see is inconvenience and hardships then not only are you missing the point, you're building some detrimental habits.

    Instead choose a mindset of positivity, opportunity and growth. This is what separates you from the pack and gets you closer to the more effective and successful version of yourself.

    Listen to how Sem and Josh break this down..
