Ladies and gentlemen, from good inside, the voice-hans from worldwide.

Dr.

Thank you.

I don't know if you know this about me, but I am very into sports.

When I was growing up, I was a competitive gymnast and I was on a competitive soccer team.

And I was pretty intense about it.

I was really driven, which sometimes work for me.

And in other stages, actually worked a little bit against me, or at least my own mental health in the moments.

My family today is also super into sports. My kids play sports, and we just watch a lot of sports,

and we get really into it. And sometimes I step back and I think, what is this phenomenon?

I have such an emotional reaction to people. I don't even know what is going on.

I love learning more about competitive athletes, what their early years were like, what shape them,

what motivates them, how they think about performance differently than other people. Anyway, my interest, my curiosity

about sports is actually what led to this series. This is the Playbook, a limited series by Good

Inside and partnership with Nike. I'm going to be talking to some of the most successful athletes of our

time, leaders who have had real impact in

their sport. And I'm going to be talking with them about their highs, about their lows, about their

mindset, about team dynamics, about what really motivates them, about the way they talk to themselves

and recover from difficult stages.

And I also have some of my favorite moments with these athletes where we talk about their life

off the field. Their early years, their family life, the things that keep them grounded,

their rituals and superstitions that keep them going. We cover so much in every conversation.
