A year ago, we lost a legend, one of the greatest basketball players of all time,

and one of the most dominant competitors this world has ever seen.

Kobe Bryant.

While it's nice to idealize and immortalize his legacy,

what's even better is to identify the mindset that made him great,

to make it practical and work with intensity and precision to apply the same standards to our careers as athletes.

Let's be like Kobe.

Welcome to the Sports Motivation podcast.

This is part one.

And this is for those of you who say that you admire Kobe.

This is for those of you who say that you model your mindset after Kobe.

This is for those of you who like to idealize people like Kobe.

But we're not just focusing on people like Kobe. We're talking about Kobe, the man himself about a year ago from right now, we lost Kobe. And it was heartbreaking.

And one of the things that, you know, you see happen after someone like Kobe passes away.

And what we saw when he did was now everybody wants to, you know,

oh, I love Kobe and black Mamba and Mamba mentality.

And not able to show you how they live like that.

And what evidence they have to show that this truly is a part of their

mindset.

So I'm not doing this series to judge you.

I'm certainly not doing this series to have you do more posturing.

What I want to do, my intentions are to help you become more like Kobe.
