The Person You Decide to Be: Taking Control of Your Story | CARE Podcast Episode 35


Listen Later

In this episode of The CARE Podcast, host Coach Bob Herb explores one of the most empowering ideas in sports and life, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

From the misattributed origins of this quote to its real meaning in today’s world, Coach Herb breaks down how decisions — not destiny — define who we become. Drawing lessons from stories of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Serena Williams, this episode dives into how great athletes and leaders consciously decide who they’ll be, even when circumstances say otherwise.

You’ll learn:

  • How to shift from “hoping” to “deciding” when it comes to growth.
  • Why self-assessment is the first step to becoming your best self.
  • The difference between talent and character and why only one truly lasts.
  • How to reclaim power over your past and shape your future through daily choices.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or leader, this episode challenges you to take ownership of your story.
