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 your host, Nees-Shobo.

Day 4 of Be Like Kobe.

This is how we're going to choose to honor Kobe by breaking down his mindset

and ensuring that we hold ourselves to the standard of living by that mindset.

Because that's why we love Kobe, is it not the way that he thinks?

And of course, the way that his philosophy,

which is the way that he thinks? And of course, the way that his philosophy, which is the way that he thinks, a true philosophy reflects the true beliefs of somebody. And he held himself

to that philosophy in action. He held himself to those standards. And that's what we're breaking

down. So by this time we understand,

we talked about that a thousand shots a day mentality,

making sure that we actually have highly pressurized training.

We talked about putting the time in simply, right?

Making sure that we actually spend time.

We talked about declaring your goal to be the best in the world at what you do,

which is what Kobe said every athlete should do.

Every athlete should be looking to win the championship.
