The Blueprint for Greatness

How to be Successful This edition of the newsletter is inspired by an executive I am coaching who shared this article with me. I've now watched hundreds of elite athletes prepare and compete at the highest levels. A big part of my work has been figuring out what separates the best from the rest. Here are the ingredients I think it takes to become the best at what you do. Subscribe to Momentum Talent x Effort x Team x Luck These four factors belong together. Individually, none of these is...

I’ve spent years working with some of the best athletes on the planet. 🏀 NBA stars. 🏈 Super Bowl contenders. 🎓 NCAA standouts. On the surface, they’ve made it… Behind the scenes, they’re wrestling with the same things most of us are — pressure, identity, burnout, uncertainty about what comes after success.

Mine came in the middle of an NBA season. At the time, I had the job I dreamed about back when I was still a grad student. Working courtside with the Toronto Raptors.
