Summary
Did you ever dream of being a pro athlete?
What happens when your goal becomes impossible?
It seems like an uphill battle out there recently, and a new playing field, so to speak.
You really need an ally. You need someone who's a comrade, someone who's there.
And so often that’s just being there physically for them, but also just being that supportive force in the world of Doritos, Oreos, Facebook and all the rest of it.
It's rough out there, so we need to prop each other up where we can.
And to help us out, today we’re here with David Nurse, an NBA life optimization coach, podcast host, worldwide motivational speaker, and bestselling author of “Pivot & Go.”
A former pro basketball player and coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has helped more than 150 NBA players really succeed on and off the court.

- Why it takes 10 years to become an overnight success
- How to get into flow through deep breathing
- And tons more…
