One of the most remarkable things about Kobe's philosophy, is that he set incredibly high standards in every aspect of his life. Most people won't do this, because the stakes are too high... This pressure is what Kobe Bryant embraced. Today, we diagnose this mindset to make this standard practical.
Most athletes make excuses, but not Kobe. He had the very unique ability to take control of every aspect of his career, and he dominated as a result. Learn how to take on this mentality in this episode.
Average competitors like to try new things, revise their strategies, and learn when it's really time to fight. You must do the opposite... train hard, and prep beforehand... Then, when it's time to hit the go button, you GO. #Bars
