Summary
Today on the show we’re replaying our episode with David Nurse, NBA life and optimization coach, author of Pivot & Go: The 29-Day Blueprint to Redefine and Achieve Your Success, and host of The David Nurse Show.
Growing up David knew he would be involved in the NBA, when he was younger he was positive he would be playing, it wasn’t until he was playing overseas and got cut from the team when that dream died. David moved back home to his parents where his mom made him realize that all that time wasn’t wasted, he had learned the skills to teach more athletic people than him how to become unstoppable at the game.
David believes that the magic is in the process. If you’re focusing on what makes you great and putting yourself in those situations, you’re going to start to see those positive results come.
