“Are you kidding?” asks David. “If Steph Curry had allowed the report to influence his mindset, he might have said, ‘You know, maybe they are right?’ But Curry didn’t allow others to cap his potential or give him an excuse.” Thirteen years and multiple NBA Championships later, the only argument anybody has about the Golden State Warrior is where he belongs on the All-Time NBA Team.
As a former professional basketball player, David’s ability to get into the zone and master his mindset led him to two Guinness World Records for shooting. In 2016, the Brooklyn Nets hired him as a coach to help players improve their three-point shooting, and they went from 28th in the league to second.
Since then, David has applied his mindset and leadership programs to more than 100 NBA players. His tools have also helped Fortune 500 CEOs, tech moguls, Hollywood actors and musicians develop better habits. “Since 80 percent of what we do each day is habitual,” David pointed out, “we need to be intentional about our habits.”
In the podcast, the author of Pivot & Go discusses how leaders can master their minds through confidence, cooperation, service, and purpose.
David poses the question, “If everything is taken away in your life, are you okay? Do you stand for more than what it says on your business card? If that’s where you find your confidence, it will go away. Where does your core self-awareness come from?”
