Summary
Episode 538
David Nurse is an NBA life and optimization coach, author and worldwide motivational speaker. As a former professional basketball player (both international and domestic) and a coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has personally helped over 150 NBA players with their personal and professional development both on and off the court. He has been invited to speak in over 50 different countries on the topics of overall personal development, confidence building, leadership, and motivational growth.
His new book, Pivot & Go is a compelling, hands-on blueprint to changing course and leading the life you want to live—today. In this guide, David outlines a clear 29-day plan; not to living the life, but to living your absolute best life.
Today on the podcast, David Nurse shares what an NBA life optimization coach entails, the return of the NBA in the bubble, being the nephew to Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, the pivot he made from playing basketball to coaching and the importance of prayer and discipline in his spiritual journey.
