This is episode number 430 with NBA basketball star Mike Conley.

Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete turn lifestyle entrepreneur.

In each week we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness.

Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let the class begin.

Welcome everyone to the School of Greatness podcast.

We have another fellow friend from Ohio. That's right. You guys know that I'm from Ohio and I love when I get to interview other people who are from Ohio or who are done amazing things in Ohio.

And Mike Conley is a former basketball player at the Ohio State and he is also an NBA basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies.

He is a point guard and he has played with the Grizzlies since being drafted fourth overall in the 2007 draft.

And recently he passed Paul Gassal to become the all-time leading score in the franchise history.

And he has also created history with his $553 million contract as it's the highest paid contract of any basketball player of all time.

Very cool to hear his story and to hear what he has done and all of his hard work how it is paid off.

Some of the things we talk about are how to cultivate a champion's mindset and really what it was like growing up with a father who is an Olympic medalist and how he trained and conditioned his mind growing up to be where he's at today.

We also talk about Mike's pretty game ritual to get his mind ready before every single game what he does.

I think you're going to find it fascinating. Also how to get back on track if you feel off in any way from your usual game.

What Mike is most proud of off the court his non-negotiables that he practices every single day and so much more guys.
